The Toronto Transit Committee (TTC) responded swiftly to a report of a syringe found under a seat on a 501 Queen streetcar. The incident, noticed by a rider, prompted quick action as officials were alerted immediately. After an initial delay in addressing the item, TTC spokesperson Stuart Green confirmed that the streetcar was removed from service and thoroughly cleaned. He noted the rarity of such incidents within the transit system, encouraging passengers to report similar concerns for their safety.
"While we don't know how this got there or what it was used for, we can assure customers that as soon as something like this is seen, reported or discovered, we immediately take the vehicle out of service and do a full cleanup."
"The streetcar was immediately taken out of service and returned to the carhouse, where the syringe was safely disposed of and the car thoroughly cleaned."
