I've rode both.
The C-Train seems worse. I think it is largely because the trains don't/can't keep on schedule. The above ground level crossings downtown were an altogether bad idea. That screws with the schedules, so people get even more testy. Then, as mentioned, there seem to be regular breakdowns of trains to further irritate the users. Regular users can't trust the system, so every irritation in addition is just magnified.
The TTC it is crazy just with the volume. But at least the underground lines and stations seem to allow for more fluid commuting. When you are heading to union station you have a pretty good idea how long it will take. You don't get stuck at any stoplights.
