It’s unbearable for Ross, the TTC’s Head of Subway Transportation, but instead of following the flock of riders off onto another train car, he’ll stand inside and take the heat. The number nearly tripled from 2015, when there were only 23 trains placed out of service in the same time frame due to hot cars. Riders, like operators, aren’t expected to take hot cars during their commutes. During the summer, two TR trains went out of service because of hot cars. Brown said the overhaul should, for the most part, result in an end to the hot car complaints.
