'Rocket' the raccoon delays Toronto subway during rush-hour commute

Most Toronto transit riders are probably used to the occasional delay, but they probably weren’t expecting to have their Friday morning commute interrupted by one of the city’s most notorious bandits.

A small raccoon wandering the tracks on the Toronto Transit Commission’s Yonge-University subway line caused quite the stir Friday morning when it held up a busy southbound train.

An announcer told passengers aboard the train that they were delayed because a raccoon was walking in front of them on the tracks and they didn’t want “to run him over,” according to a few riders who tweeted about the experience.

Eventually, the troublesome trespasser made its way to Bloor Station where special constables made a “humane capture” on the platform at around 9:30 a.m., TTC spokesperson Brad Ross tweeted on Friday morning.

In Raccoon City news, this cute fella is awaiting Animal Services in relative comfort and absolute safety in our offices at Bloor Station. Special Constables made the humane capture on a southbound train at 9:34 this morning. http://pic.twitter.com/kb4lrsLPKS

Although it was prevented from boarding a train and continuing on its journey, the little raccoon was at least treated to some pizza while it waited in a garbage bin in the TTC’s Bloor Station offices, Ross said.

After its lunch, the critter could be seen sitting in a cage before its departure in a photo shared by Ross.

“The #TTCtrashpanda has left the building. Thanks for riding buddy. Don’t make it a habit,” he tweeted.

Ross wasn’t the only one having fun with the unexpected commuter.

Toronto Mayor John Tory speculated about the raccoon’s motives in a tweet that morning.

We always knew rolling out the new raccoon-resistant green bins would have consequences. Thanks to #TTC and City staff for helping this raccoon off the subway this morning. https://t.co/Q7KgZsNIoj

City Coun. Janet Davis thanked TTC staff for their efforts during Friday’s council meeting and a few Twitter users already suggested a new nickname for the raccoon: “Rocket,” after the TTC trains themselves.

How do you not name a raccoon on the TTC "Rocket"?!? https://t.co/NfOI1Z5fge

It’s still unclear whether the roving raccoon paid the required fare. Maybe it had a Presto card?
