TTC commuters get snarky over snarled morning commute
Subway and streetcar service in downtown core halted during morning rush
What to do when you're waiting in an endless line for a TTC shuttle bus? Tweet.
Hordes of commuters took to Twitter this morning during a massive TTC service shutdown caused by a hydro vault fire.
Most of them weren't very happy.

—@Banquos_BanquetSome commuters got a little cheeky about the delays.

—@NspirationJunkyThe subway is now back up and running but more commuter woes are on the way this afternoon. A winter storm has started dumping snow on the city and it isn't expected to stop until tomorrow morning.
