Excellent news, thanks Cindy.
Thousands of commuters rode buses instead of the TTC subway Saturday after police closed the Finch station to investigate a suspicious package. In the end, emergency task force officers determined a package they were sent to examine around 3:44 a.m. inside the station was not a bomb.
Details about its construction, where it was located and its disposition were not released. Service on the subway resumed around 1:30 p.m., police said.
TTC spokesman Marilyn Bolton said investigators did not provide details of the device, “but they did talk about some possible explosive device.”
She said shuttle buses were put into service from Finch to the Sheppard station. “We didn’t open that piece of subway,” Bolton said. Although no estimate of Saturday's ridership on the buses was available, she said “it’s a good thing it wasn’t a regular weekday, when we have so much more demand.”
You’re so welcome.
This will be interesting.
