"TTC CEO Mandeep Lali apologized to commuters on social media for the disruption earlier in the week and said he had ordered an immediate and comprehensive review to determine what happened."
"A 2024 report pinned the blame primarily on faulty and aging equipment, leading the TTC to accept all recommendations, including improving standard maintenance practices."
