Statement from #TTC CEO Mandeep S. Lali on this morning’s hydraulic fluid leak. “Dear Customers,
 For the second time this week, a work car operating during overnight maintenance on Line 2 experienced a hydraulic fluid leak, disrupting the start of subway service.
 This is unacceptable. The TTC must provide safe, reliable service from the beginning of every day, and this week we did not meet that standard. I apologize to our customers and take full accountability.
 Effective immediately, I have directed the suspension of the work car fleet, except in exceptional circumstances, pending a full review. That review will examine both incidents in detail, determine root causes, and include inspections across the entire fleet. Any affected vehicles will remain out of service until we are confident, they are safe and reliable to operate.
 Our focus is clear: prevent a recurrence.
 Multiple response teams were mobilized this morning to inspect and clean the affected area, and full Line 2 service resumed safely at approximately 7:20 a.m. Today’s response reflected the enhanced safety measures introduced following the first incident earlier this week. Those measures were necessary, but prevention must remain the standard.
 I want to thank our employees for their swift and professional response, and our customers for their patience.
 We will move with urgency, we will be transparent about the outcome of this review, and we will take the necessary actions to restore confidence. Toronto should be able to count on the TTC to deliver safe, reliable service from the start of every day.”

After a significant hydraulic oil leak earlier in 2024 that forced a half-day closure of TTC Line 2 and the revelation of several other smaller incidents, the transit agency’s board has received an update on a plan to address associated maintenance issues. toronto.citynews.ca/2024/12/03/ttc…
