The ride home Thursday night got hot and steamy when at least two TTC riders decided to get frisky aboard a King streetcar Thursday afternoon.

The alleged hanky-panky took place aboard a westbound 504 King Streetcar around 5 p.m., TTC spokesperson Brad Ross confirmed.

According to reports, two men and a woman were caught in the midst of either oral or manual sex aboard the transit vehicle, bringing the ride to a halt for the other passengers.

“Stuck in streetcar at King and York for 20 minutes the driver announces reason for delay. ‘Sexual activity,’ wrote Twitter user @RobinLobb.

The vehicle came to a stop at University Avenue as security was called to the scene. However the lovers, apparently intoxicated, fled before police arrived.

Ross said he couldn’t confirm how many people were involved in the incident. He said riders were delayed for about 20 minutes as police came to the scene to make sure the incident was over.

“Whenever there’s a security type incident reported on board one of our vehicles we have to follow it up,” Ross told CP24 Friday.

However he said that neither the TTC nor police are looking to investigate the heated incident any further.

“From our perspective there’s no investigation. Everyone had a good laugh over it,” Ross said.

He said that while the streetcar’s surveillance cameras would have captured the activity, the video will not be released as police have not requested it. TTC video is normally held for about 15 hours, Ross said.

He said the lovers left through the rear doors and the driver hadn’t noticed their departure.

“Let’s hope that people take this home instead of taking it onto the streetcar. There’s a thought,” Ross said.

Meanwhile, the incident lit up social media, with the hashtag #TorontoStreetcarSex quickly catching on.

Hundreds of delighted posters let forth with amused puns and comments.

This isn’t the first time that TTC riders have felt the need to express themselves before getting home.

In an infamous 2011 incident, a security alarm was pulled after two intoxicated riders began copulating on the floor a of a subway car on the Yonge Line. Apparently undeterred, the couple continued on the platform of Spadina Station until security finally arrived nearly 15 minutes later.
