Yesterday's morning commute on the TTC was a nightmare for hundreds of people after an injury at track level led to the temporary closure of service between several stations on Line 1.

Just after 9:15 a.m., the TTC tweeted that Line 1 was partially halted, with "no service between St Clair and Eglinton."

Line 1 Yonge-University: No service between St Clair and Eglinton while we respond to an injury on the tracks. Shuttle buses are running between St Clair and Eglinton.

Less than 30 minutes later, the TTC provided an update that extended the closure, with "no service between Lawrence and St Clair."

As a result, dozens of people flocked to social media to express their frustrations, suggesting that the incident could've been prevented with platform screen doors.

Why are you not putting barriers so people won’t jump on the tracks?

With rush hour in full swing, replacement shuttle buses did little to prevent overcrowding and confusion at several stations on Line 1.

Thanks@ttcfor letting toronto down AGAIN! Thanks for being the most unreliable transportation system in the country! took more than an hour from Finch to Eglinton stopped in every station forever and then finally getting out of the train to experience even more chaos!pic.twitter.com/333tNaZ3Kd

One user even claimed they had to wait for a shuttle bus for 40 minutes amid the delays.

You should apologize from people and give our ticket money back. We were waiting for a shuttle bus for 40 minutes!!!!

Others found it difficult to even locate the replacement buses, claiming instructions were muddled and indiscernable.

Hey@TTChelpssince we’re about to be thrown off the train and forced onto shuttle buses, could you make the announcements more clear? It’s muddled and we can barely understand what the announcer is saying. ♀️

Just after 11:30 a.m., the TTC reposted their previous announcement, however, it took another hour for commuters to receive an update.

Hi@TTChelps, the last update was almost an hour ago. Is service still down from Eglinton to St. Clair?https://t.co/3ezX1Wr6G4

At 12:33 p.m., just over three hours after the initial announcement, the TTC tweeted that "regular service has resumed between Eglinton and St Clair."
