A track level fire has halted subway service between Kipling and Jane stations, causing major disruptions in Toronto. Find out more here!

In a surprising turn of events, a track level fire has forced the TTC to shut down subway service between Kipling and Jane stations in Toronto. No trains are currently running between Kipling, Islington, Royal York, Old Mill, and Jane stations, leaving commuters stranded. The TTC has mobilized between 40 and 60 shuttle buses to mitigate the impact on travelers. Repair efforts are underway, but the transit agency warns that the closure could potentially last for a couple of days.

Commuters in the west end of Toronto are facing significant delays as shuttle buses replace regular subway service at affected stations. The TTC advises passengers to plan their journeys accordingly and allocate extra time due to the increased surface route traffic. With no clear timeline for when subway service will resume, Toronto residents are urged to stay updated through official TTC channels.

In a rare occurrence, a fire at Islington station has led to the partial shutdown of Line 2, adding to the city's transit woes. Shuttle buses continue to operate to assist commuters in navigating the disrupted route. As repair crews work tirelessly to restore normalcy, the TTC emphasizes the importance of safety and efficient communication during this challenging period.

Despite the inconvenience caused by the subway closure, the TTC's swift response and deployment of shuttle buses demonstrate their commitment to passenger safety. The incident serves as a reminder of the vital role public transportation plays in the daily lives of Torontonians, emphasizing the need for reliable and resilient transit services in the face of unexpected events.
