"The TTC posted a reminder on social media before the game, saying subways would stop after 1:30 a.m. Shortly after midnight, the city reposted the same post to remind customers that transit won't wait, and the last GO train from Union Station would be leaving soon despite the game running late. TTC board chair Jamaal Myers said Monday that the TTC post was an erroneous tweet, and the agency is investigating how this mistake happened."
"Unfortunately, that night a TTC communication suggesting that subway service would end at 1:30 a.m. was posted to the TTC social media, which was amplified by the city's social media, leading to confusion to our customers. The TTC deeply apologizes for this mistake, said Myers at a media availability ahead of the TTC board meeting Monday. Social media videos showed fans waiting in stations and facing overcrowded platforms after Game 7."
"I can't comment on the service provided by other transit agencies, but no one, to my knowledge, was left stranded by the TTC. We ran our service the way we had planned and the service went well, he said."
