TTC commuters get snarky over snarled morning commute
Subway and streetcar service in downtown core halted during morning rush
What to do when you're waiting in an endless line for a TTC shuttle bus? Tweet.
Hordes of commuters took to Twitter this morning during a massive TTC service shutdown caused by a hydro vault fire.
Most of them weren't very happy.

—@Banquos_BanquetSome commuters got a little cheeky about the delays.

Thanks to <a href="https://twitter.com/Metrolinx">@Metrolinx</a> who have added the <a href="https://twitter.com/UPexpress">@UPexpress</a> to routes accepting TTC fares this morning
—@bradTTCThank you <a href="https://twitter.com/GOtransit">@GOtransit</a> for helping us this morning. TTC customers can use their fare at Kennedy, Danforth, Long Branch and Bloor GO stations.
—@JohnToryIf you were especially lucky today, you had the option this person did.

—@NspirationJunkyThe subway is now back up and running but more commuter woes are on the way this afternoon. A winter storm has started dumping snow on the city and it isn't expected to stop until tomorrow morning.
