Subway Service Suspended Between Key Stations
Commuters relying on Line 2 faced significant delays during Tuesday’s evening rush hour as subway service remained suspended between Broadview and Victoria Park stations for over three hours. Transit officials first identified a signal system malfunction shortly after 1 p.m., prompting immediate repair efforts.
Ongoing Service Interruption Details
As of late afternoon, maintenance crews continued working to resolve the technical issue while shuttle buses transported passengers between affected stations. Multiple transit sources confirmed the problem originated in the line’s signaling infrastructure, though the exact cause remains under investigation.
Regular subway service between Warden and Kipling stations operated normally during the disruption. Transit staff directed passengers to alternative routes and advised adding extra travel time for east-west journeys across the affected section.
Commuters Advised to Seek Alternatives
Officials stated shuttle buses would continue operating until full subway service resumes. No estimated restoration time has been provided as technicians work to complete repairs. Real-time service updates remain available through official transit information channels.
The disruption marks one of the longest continuous service interruptions on Line 2 this year, occurring during peak travel periods. Transit analysts noted signal system malfunctions can occasionally cause extended delays due to required safety verification protocols before restoring service.
