Streetcar Shutdown on St. Clair: Buses Replace Streetcars

0:00It's April 17th. Welcome to Canada News today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. If you're commuting on the 512 St. Clair route, brace for more buses instead of streetcars, especially around Guns Loop. A water main brake has shut down service there, swabbing out the usual rides from Guns Loop at St. Clair Avenue West all the way to St. Clair. Stigian. This mess kicked off late Wednesday night, right around 11.45 pm, and is stretching longer than folks expected. The TTC jumped on a quick with replacement buses covering their roughly 35-minute stretch. Commuters are feeling the pinch with longer travel times and crowded buses during rush hour. No one's thrilled about dodging construction, or dealing with detours on top of their daily grind. TTC says they don't know the exact cause yet, and the city's taken the lead on repairs with no clear timeline for getting street cars back online. They've reached out for updates, but details are slim. Keep an eye on TTC alerts if you're in the area, as this could drag on and mess with your flow a bit longer.
