A section of the Toronto subway system has reopened after being closed due to the reported discovery of a suspicious package.
The Toronto Transit Commission says six stations were closed just north of the downtown core.
Spokeswoman Marilyn Bolton says the closure began just after 9 a.m. and lasted until about 10:30 a.m.
Shuttle buses were being used to transport subway passengers between the closed stations.
Toronto police Const. Wendy Drummond says police were sent to a station after a transit supervisor spotted a suspicious package.
But Drummond could not say what type of package was involved or whether it was discovered on a subway train, the station platform or another location.

Oh my GOD...Allie lives at Younge & Eglington...was it around there?
Probably, 6 blocks north of downtown depending on where you think downtown ends could be counting 6 blocks north from College or 6 blocks north from Rosedale, either way Eglinton subway would have likely been effected whether or not the suspicious package was found there.
Thanks for letting me know Jenny, i'll definitely call her to make sure she's okay.
No problem, I tried to do some further research, but I didnt' find anything else.
