A police investigation is causing serious delays on major commuter roadways and public transit lines in Toronto during the Friday afternoon rush hour.
There is no service on Line 2 of the subway between St. George and Broadview stations, taking the heavily trafficked Bloor-Yonge station out of commission.

Shuttle buses are operating, but as anyone who has taken a shuttle bus knows, traffic is extremely backed up.
hundreds of people waiting for shuttle buses at Yonge Street and there are literally none in sight. if youre on your way home try to find another way because as usual, the TTC is not prepared. #ttc pic.twitter.com/Q7CvFwCWeu

Toronto Police have not yet given a reason for the delay or the nature of their investigation, but travel times are currently seriously impacted, so plan ahead.
