TTC Bucks Up, Subway Shuts Down Between Bloor and Eglinton
Two things of note on the TTC front: first, the TTC’s press release sent out to outlets last night was incorrect about the price of an Adult MDP Metropass and VIP Metropass; they were listed as costing $110 and $106, respectively, when they’ll actually cost a dollar more each (sacrilege!) as of January 3, 2010. (We’ve updated our post on the fare increases accordingly.) Second, and most pertinent for today: tunnel damage “caused by a contractor doing work on a roadway/bridge south of St. Clair Station,” as the TTC’s press release puts it, has led to a shutdown in subway service on the yellow line between Bloor and Eglinton Stations, both north and southbound. The TTC expects the delay to last “the duration of the evening.”
