The train was brought back online around 8 a.m., and the additional buses were taken out of service shortly afterwards.
The technical issue is par for the course with the plagued Confederation Line, which has seen repeated breakdowns and delays since its unveiling over a month ago.
This most recent delay came just days after the city apologized for the unreliable service, which is often disrupted during major rush hour times.
