If you ever want more info about a transit delay than what you get from official communications, or if you want a better sense of daily issues on trains and buses (most of which are never reported to the police/press), check out this unofficial feed: https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/31629

Here’s a 1-minute video showing the Transit Control centre where many of these calls are received: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQoKVmNJlSs

Wow, that’s unreal! Where does the broadcastify feed come from? I presume it’s not official?

This broadcast is not official. Here’s a RadioReference forum post with the technical details re: how someone can monitor the TETRA system that TTC uses to communicate across its network. This broadcastify feed is picking up the signal from the Birchmount location/frequency.
