TTC chair sorry for poor communication on transit service after World Series Game 7
Written by The Canadian Press on November 3, 2025
TORONTO — The Toronto Transit Commission chair is apologizing for social media posts that suggested transit service would end at 1:30 a.m. after the final World Series game ran late, calling them a “mistake.”
Jamaal Myers says the last subway train left Union Station around 1:45 a.m. and the TTC had planned to run later trains if necessary, but the communication shared online early Sunday morning was poor.
He says the social media post that said subway service would end at 1:30 a.m., reposted by the City of Toronto, led to confusion but no one was left stranded by the TTC.
The city said in its post on X, about 10 minutes before Game 7 ended in the 11th inning, that transit “won’t wait,” despite the World Series game running late.
Myers says he is introducing a motion at the TTC board meeting, supported by Mayor Olivia Chow and Coun. Josh Matlow, to “establish predictable late night transit service for major special events.”
Metrolinx also received criticism for not extending GO train and UP Express service after the game, but the transportation agency didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
