Subway service was restored 6 hours after a wall of flames erupted in a subway tunnel at Bloor-Yonge Station. Shauna Hunt with the dramatic video taken from the platform and the impact it had on today’s commute.

This is another reason the TTC needs platform edge barriers in all stations in addition to preventing suicides and protecting riders from track pushers. Look at all the clowns leaning on and into the yellow caution area. I don't care if it costs a billion dollars the province should pay for or most of it. The province regardless of party wastes billions on ehealth, ornge, nixing gas plants, cancelling lrt contracts, cancelling subway projects, privatizing the 407 and the Skydome and what else. Subway barriers will prevent deaths, injuries and accidents. They may increase TTC ridership and reduce liability and insurance costs for the system paying for the project itself longterm through recurring savings.
I m not astonished at all by the unmindful actions of Torontonians today. These individuals are lucky that they were not victims of a larger explosion. Regardless of what an institution like the TTC that have shown to do less to ensure the safety of its citizens today.
1:29— the bus is full, the doors are closed and the bus and people on the bus have a schedule and places to go….why you looking so confused? There will be another bus along in a minute or two.
I'm trying to think if there is another major transit system in any major North America city of similar wealth and development as bad as what Toronto relies on. In between scores of aggressive homeless, violent mentally unstable "customers", constant and never ending construction and repairs, violence, stabbings, theft, more violence and ……fire. Yeah, Toronto is indeed a pathetic mess.
People who stand on that platform are waiting for a train. Therefore someone was injured and there was a train that was supposed to arrive or this video is fake

Everybody is the camera man now lol
that is why maintenance is a major priority in every industry -PERIODIC MAINTENANCE –
Infrastructure is too old…
Arc flash.
So what were TTC doing all these months when they closed that section for "upgrade"
Ttc is in a bad mess!
Thankfully, no one was harm
With all the fires breaking out on the TTC maybe we should have firefighters riding the TTC.

Another day in the life of dysfunctional toronto – nothing works, everything is breaking down here; a city in decline…

The era of "film it" instead of pulling a fire alarm and getting TTC assistance…
Can't express the disappointment of seeing people's inaction
Nobody trusts the subway at that location anymore or at all after that
People who stand on that platform are waiting for a train. Therefore someone was injured and there was a train that was supposed to arrive or this video is fake
Nobody stands on that platform unless they are waiting for a train.
Is that real or fake? Someone is making fake news … here & there in the past
