Most of the Toronto media has already covered the availability of email alerts about TTC service. The signup page is available on their website. I got the first alert after signing up earlier this week. Here’s what they look like:
from My TTC <TTC@myttce-alerts.com> reply-to 11002-1322TTC@myttce-alerts.com to xxxxxxxxxxxx date Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 10:37 PM subject TTC Service Alert [Yonge-University-Spadina Subway Line] mailed-by myttce-alerts.com A section of the Yonge-University-Spadina Subway service is currently shut down from Eglinton Station to Bloor Station. Shuttle buses are in service. Last updated Jan 15, 2009 10:37 PM Sent: 1/15/09 10:37 PM
It’s hard to tell from this email if it was sent timely, but as more people use this service, I bet they get it figured out quite quickly.
