#eglintoncrosstown — Public Fediverse posts

After my pilgrimage to Finch West last week, it was time to discover Eglinton West through Line 5 LRT on a beautiful Saturday

-It’s very fast underground
-Stations are very deep (and cold!)
-Spacing of stops seems adequate

Waiting 10min for the next train feels long when you’re used to the subway, especially since the timing of the next train signs are entirely wrong still months after opening (and Transit app also doesn’t work underground)

Metrolinx should be offering riders 100% free rides for minimum 6 years in compensation.
But really, public transit should be free.
It would improve business and give people more money to circulate in community.
They have robbed so many people of so much by their inability to fulfill their contract commitments. Caused communities to suffer. Long standing businesses to close.

‘There is a possibility’: Eglinton Crosstown LRT could open this year, Ford government says

It's likely to be too short of a timeframe, but I wonder what kind of freebies the TTC could get from the province to give them a favor to open it before year end.

Revenue service testing has resumed on line 5 Eglinton

Unclear if they have to restart the 30 day testing protocol or can resume where it was in the process.

Either ways trains are back at running on the line.

Revenue testing has now PAUSED for the Eglinton LRT line

There was a collision between 2 trains in the storage yard

Unclear if this will require a restart of the 30 days revenue testing

It's not good news for sure

Revenue service testing to start this week for the Eglinton LRT, according to Metrolinx CEO. It lasts at least 30 days (could be more)

It's a good milestone to reach

Looks like Doug Ford is brave enough to give an opening date for the Eglinton LRT so it might actually be happening soon.

I don’t really trust #metrolinx seeing how they did the stations on the Eglinton lane. Tons of valuable real estate wasted by small stations that are taking the whole block. No condo or business on top, nothing, at places where the amount of pedestrians will be super high.

#eglintoncrosstown #crosstown

The view when cycling the DVP which is simultaneously inspiring and depressing. Despiring, you might say.

Oh, Crosstown. Maybe someday.

@c_9 I still found some of the info interesting.

https://www.cp24.com/news/major-construction-complete-on-eglinton-crosstown-but-software-and-quality-assurance-issues-outstanding-metrolinx-1.6821680

1. Software issues, first time I hear of the software being a problem. They are already at v6 working on v7... why?! All along we were told issues were physical.. now its software?

2. The progress on the occupancy certificates, which has definitely improved since last update.

The real failure of the Eglinton Crosstown isn’t the delays

OPINION: The project is years behind schedule. But the government’s decision to just stop talking about it is an even bigger cause for concern
