There is no subway service on the TTC's Line 1 between Bloor-Yonge and Eglinton due to weather conditions as Toronto digs out from a weekend of heavy snowfall, the TTC said.
Shuttle buses are running, the TTC said in a service alert on Monday morning.
Earlier Monday morning, the transit agency warned delays are expected on all streetcar routes in a service alert, but that alert is no longer on the TTC's website.
"Customers will experience longer than normal travel time on all streetcar routes due to inclement weather and multiple motor vehicles stuck in snow, blocking streetcar tracks," the transit agency said in the alert.
