(Brad Ross/TTC)Even though passengers may criticize the TTC for suspending service, Byford said he won't compromise safety. TTC brass were blaming a small fire and a "smouldering" cable for a three-hour service delay on the Bloor-Danforth subway line Wednesday that turned the morning commute into a nightmare for thousands of riders. "I don't think there are enough shuttle buses running," one woman waiting at Pape station told CBC. "I hate the fact that customers are having to go back on shuttle buses this morning," Byford told reporters at the scene, acknowledging passengers' frustration. TTC spokesman Brad Ross, however, tweeted a photo of a damaged piece of wood that covers the third rail along the track.
