This is resulting in a slower than normal rollout of streetcars in the west end of the city. Riders waiting for cars along St Clair, Dundas, Queen and King may experience longer wait times.

Buses to supplement streetcar service this AM. Extreme cold causing frozen switches in yards, air lines on some cars. Leave extra time #TTC
