Hundreds of thousands of people crowded the streets of downtown Toronto Monday for the Raptors Championship Parade.

So many people, in fact, that several subway stops were shut down.

Representatives for GO Transit say they experienced an “unprecedented afternoon commute” and they’re running at full capacity.

They advised anyone travelling to or from the downtown core to leave work early or wait until after the rush hour.

Some additional trains were added while others experienced delays.

GO Transit says they added an extra train to the Kitchener line leaving Union Station at 7:20 p.m.

They’re asking travelers to be patient as the train is expected to be very crowded.
