Another incident of violenceon Toronto's public transit rocked commuters midday Thursday, right when it finally seemed that we were done with theslashings,bottlings,stabbingsand other types ofassaultthat felt too common for comfort and made ridersfar more waryto hop on the TTC.

Following theterrifying scenethat played out on a subway car at Eglinton Station and sent one man to hospital with life-threatening stab wounds after an altercation, more mayhem ensued throughout the city as service to the stop was halted and shuttle buses were dispatched in lieu.

Yet another stabbing inside TTC and the services have been suspended between stations!

The station was shut down for over seven hours while the police investigated the crime, meaning that evening rush hour was an absolute mess.

Videos show lineups snaking for blocks as people waited for a spot on a bus — in the rain, no less — with reports of waitslasting for multiple hours.

How long does it take to investigate the incident? Also, can't u guys figure out how to do a stabbing investigation without stopping half the city?

Complaints of ridiculously long wait times, overcrowding all over the network,insufficient busesto handle transitgoers andill-mannered staffabounded on social media, with some calling for better methods of handling such situations going forward and, crucially, more widespreadcell phone servicethroughout the subway system.

Others, though, were quick to remind those grumbling that the main issue was a person being stabbed and fighting for their life as the city yet again fears for public safety, not that people were frustratingly having to wait around in the aftermath.

I hope you eat these same words god forbid something like this happens to you or someone you love . Everyone was disrupted get over you selfish twat . For an architect you’d think you’d be able to build a foundation of compassion
