TORONTO – Interfering with your plans, the Toronto Transit Commission has closed the subway, streetcar and/or bus line from the place you currently are right now, all the way to wherever it is you want to be later.
“Due to scheduled maintenance, there will be no service between you and your destination,” read the announcement on the TTC’s website, which went up just after you paid your fare at the station. “Service will resume immediately after you get to your destination by some other means.”
In lieu of providing transportation, the TTC will corral you to stand outside and bear the elements for at least 30 minutes to watch densely packed buses pass by as your frustration gathers until you finally break and order an Uber, decide to walk or just give up on getting to their destination altogether.
