The TTC board will consider more ways to address dangerous overcrowding on the Yonge subway with improvements from signalling upgrades still years away and a relief line plan still decades in the making. Line 1 has long been operating over capacity south of Bloor-Yonge station. The TTC came close to closing Bloor-Yonge station this past January, the TTC told the Star then, after delays saw unprecedented crowd concerns at the station. Since then, the TTC has added two new trains to fill service gaps, the new report says. The current signalling for the line limits how many trains can be run while ensuring they operate a safe distance apart.
