Commuters board a TTC shuttle bus Monday after a fluid spill closed part of Line 2 for hours. TTC board members are meeting today and are expected to get a update on the incident.
The TTC board will meet today as questions linger about the cause of a serious service outage Monday that impacted thousands of commuters. The TTC board is meeting Wednesday as questions linger about the cause of a serious service outage earlier this week that impacted thousands of commuters.
Mayor Olivia Chow apologized to riders for the issue, saying earlier this week that she is working to improve reliability. "In terms of public transit in the city of Toronto, it's still excellent. Can we do a lot better? Absolutely. Can it be more reliable? Yep."TTC chair Jamaal Myers said earlier this week that he has received a general overview of the incident and why the spill took so long to clean up. But he is still waiting for a full investigation.
"Well it's always important that we do lessons learned and that we look at how we can plan better for those unexpected outages," she said. "Certainly, I think we're all be watching very closely to see what happened and importantly how we can do better next time."Transit advocate Steve Munro said he's eager to hear what staff have to say about the issues. He's critical of how the agency communicated with riders during the outage.
"What are all the problems?" he said. "Are they equipment failures? Are they track blockages? Are they infrastructure problems?"
