  "account": "On Tuesday morning, commuters on TTC Line 6 experienced significant delays between Finch West and Humber College stations due to a system failure. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) announced the full shutdown of service just after 5 a.m., with the disruption confirmed by 6:45 a.m. Shuttle buses were operating along the affected stretch, but riders could anticipate crowded conditions and longer travel times during the morning rush.\n\nThe TTC informed 680 NewsRadio that there is no estimated time for the restoration of service, with a spokesperson noting that a planned system reset overnight had not resolved the issue. Metrolinx, which oversees the Finch West Light Rail Transit (LRT), is expected to assist in resolving the problem.\n\nRiders were advised to allow extra travel time and check real-time updates through TTC channels as crews worked to address the issue. As of 6:40 a.m., Line 6 between Finch West and Humber College remained closed with shuttle buses running between the two stations.",
