Shuttle buses are expected to be overcrowded and slow for the PM rush.<\/p>\n<p>For those heading back to the Yonge Subway from Eglinton northward, your best bet may be to transfer back not on crowded (and slow) Eglinton buses, but get off at Wilson, which has the best level of bus service between the two sections of the Yonge-University-Spadina subway, to get to York Mills Station. GO Transit (particuarly the Richmond Hill Line) and north-south bus routes east of Yonge (the 141 and 144 premium express routes, 25 Don Mills, 100 Flemingdon Park, 24 Victoria Park and 68 Warden) might be faster as well depending on your destination.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE:\u00a0 Service resumed at 8:30, and was caused by an error by an Enbridge Gas crew that cut into the tunnel.
