The brief Friday closure came after both Line 2 and Line 4 were forced to close in their entirety for around 30 minutes on Thursday, something the agency blamed on software bugs.

“The TTC is investigating a software issue affecting a train supervision system that led to this morning’s service disruption on Line 2 Bloor–Danforth and Line 4 Sheppard,” the TTC said of Thursday’s issues.

“The Automatic Train Control system on Line 1 Yonge–University was not impacted. Operating safeguards remain in place as the investigation continues.”

At the beginning of last month, the head of the TTC was forced to apologize for a hydraulic brake fluid spill that caused multiple issues on Line 2.
