Metrolinx, City of Toronto slammed for not extending transit service after World Series finale
TTC ran extra trains until scheduled end while Metrolinx added late-night trains; 95% of streetcar lines operate 24 hours, officials said.
- On Saturday night, thousands of fans were stranded across Toronto after Game 7 between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers went 11 innings as transit prepared to shut down.
- Subway service was scheduled to end at 1:30 a.m., and with the game finishing around 12:15–12:20 a.m., fans had less than an hour to catch final trains.
- The TTC said it had an enhanced plan, operating more than a dozen extra trains on Lines 1 and 2 and preparing 30 additional buses if needed, while Metrolinx added late-night GO trains but faced overnight service limits due to track ownership and crewing constraints.
- Public backlash mounted on social media targeting the City of Toronto and transit agencies after some services ended by 1:30 a.m., while city councillors Josh Matlow and Brad Bradford said they will raise concerns at the TTC board meeting on Monday.
- Mayor Olivia Chow plans to raise the issue at Monday's TTC board meeting and support a motion to improve special-event transit, while the TTC said it will review operations for improvements.
