The TTC suspended subway service on a busy downtown stretch of Line 2 early Thursday due to oil spilled on the tracks, affecting transit for many. Riders must rely on shuttle buses or alternative travel modes.
The transit agency confirmed that no trains were running between St. George and Broadview stations as crews were deployed to investigate, but no timeline for resumption was provided.
This incident echoes a previous spill incident, where a hydraulic fluid leak caused similar service disruptions in May, leading to hours of commuter delays. Since then, the agency mentioned examining underlying causes.
TTC leadership noted that seven spills have been recorded in 2024 alone, highlighting a recurring issue that has raised concerns regarding the safety and reliability of the transit system.
