TTC commuters get snarky over snarled morning commute
Subway and streetcar service in downtown core halted during morning rush
What to do when you're waiting in an endless line for a TTC shuttle bus? Tweet.
Hordes of commuters took to Twitter this morning during a massive TTC service shutdown caused by a hydro vault fire.
Most of them weren't very happy.

Some commuters got a little cheeky about the delays.
So, power outages on the TTC. Overcrowded platforms. General insanity. Welcome to March.

The subway is now back up and running but more commuter woes are on the way this afternoon. A winter storm has started dumping snow on the city and it isn't expected to stop until tomorrow morning.
