@TTChelps is there a particular issue or slow zone in effect near Wilson station? I’ve noticed that trains seem to be bunching up and stopping around the station a lot for the last few days. Just wondering how long this will last.

I ask because there’s supposed to be a slow zone northbound but the trains seem to be going slow and stopping southbound too.

That’s 16km! I can’t fathom a properly organized system where they will shut down the entire eastern portion, all downtown connecting stations and into the western portion because there’s a person walking around. Platform doors and Rick Leary’s removal can’t happen soon enough.

Line 2 Bloor-Danforth: No service between Bathurst and Kennedy while we deal with a trespasser on the tracks.

You just know that there’s definitely someone in Vegas who’s like “we’ve been waiting so long for this!!” #StanleyCupFinal

75% of the trailers at Summer Game Fest could be played back to back and I would have no idea they’re different games.

The @TTChelps shuts down the subway between St Clair West and St Andrew due to a fire at St George. Collectors are told that shuttle buses will not be ordered as there are alternate routes. Alternate routes do not cover how huge a vessel that portion of the subway line is. (1/2)

This is absolutely unacceptable and is a continued example of the leadership under Rick Leary. As I write this, shuttle buses are ordered for St Clair West and St George. This is not a solution. There are still 5 stops that are told “here’s your fare increase. Tough luck”

Why do artists playing NYE in Times Square always insist on playing slow/sad songs. I’m trying to party and feel hopeful about next year. Stop being a downer!!

Could @Sportsnet stop sending a notification of every McDavid goal as breaking news? The best hockey player scored a goal! What a concept!

Worst concert probably wasn’t even DFA’s fault. The sound at the venue was horrendous and the whole show was just a high pitched shrill. No bass at all.
Rita needs her ring! Let’s go boys #LeafsForever
It's nice to see the Canadian flag back where it belongs—wrapped around the players—and not hanging upside down off a truck.

Islanders fans will assure you that they’re better off without Tavares but then immediately boo him every time he touches the puck.
I’m not sure if the fact that @Sportsnet has a SNNow commercial about angry Canadians not being able to watch the game is genius or simply tone deaf given how often the app doesn’t work.

@TTChelps hi there, I’m sure it’s an awful day for you. Just a heads up, there’s a bud stuck across multiple lanes at Sheppard and Allen and it’s been stuck for at least 5 hours. I’m sure crews are scrambling right now but it might be a good idea to prioritize this bus.

Good luck and hope things go better for you soon!
That Ryan O’Reilly interview on SN might’ve been one of the most eloquent hockey player interviews I’ve seen in a long time.
Replying to @Rogers
@Rogers @Sportsnet The SN Now app buffers often during the stream and will sometimes completely cut out. How is this acceptable?? This has been an issue well before October and it still doesn’t work. My internet is at 400Mbps when I run a test so clearly it’s not my connection.

The world needs to chill with all the Gotye trends on Instagram and tiktok. There’s like 3 going on. Every other video is one.
Replying to @TTChelps
@TTChelps hi there! Is there a delay on the 84 route? 7 or so buses have come westbound in the last 10mins and we haven’t seen a single one east. And according to the stop, there are no 984 buses coming this way.

Update: one bus has come and gone but it’s way too busy. So then it’s an 11min wait for the next one. One bus every half hour during rush hour is pretty crazy haha

PS I understand that you are not in charge of the schedules and am not mad at you, but this is seriously not right.
