If you needed another reason to hate riding Toronto's iconic streetcars, here's one: They don't work in the cold.
The city has been plunged into the deep freeze this week, and it seems to have taken its toll on transit. CTV reports more than 20 streetcars have been taken out of service due to the cold weather. TTC spokesperson Brad Ross blamed an aging fleet and frozen brake lines for the issue.
Shuttle buses are being provided along affected routes in order to ease congestion. Riders may continue to experience delays on the 502, 502, and 511 lines.
Buses are being utilized to augment service on the 502 Downtowner, 503 Kingston, 511 Bathurst routes due to weather related equipment issues
