Computer glitch screws with the signals on the TTC in Toronto this morning. Apparently the glitch was severe enough to bring the entire system to a grinding halt.
From The Globe and Mail:
“Rarely do we ever have to shut down the entire system,†Mr. Ross said. “But when we’re unable to move trains or see the trains, signals and switches that is a very significant safety concern.â€
Mr. Ross said the transit agency is still trying to pinpoint what caused the computers at transit control to fail.
He said a similar computer malfunction prompted a five-minute shut-down on the Yonge-University-Spadina line earlier this week.
Knowing what little I do of their network there, I can only imagine.
