The estimated cost to build a subway in Toronto when the Eglinton Crosstown LRT got the go ahead in 2007 was $8.2 billion dollars - The final cost to build the Eglinton Crosstown LRT was $13 billion, so yes, we could easily have had a full-fledged subway for the cost of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT

..... – When the Eglinton East LRT is built, it will be an entirely separate line; in other words; Eglinton LRT passengers will have to disembark and change trains at Kennedy Station

‘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.

The article notes " ... latest significant problems dogging the F-35 emerged...the specific type that Canada plans to buy...is at least $6 billion over budget and five years behind schedule..."
$6 billion over and five years late? This sounds like a job for...#Metrolinx!
Eglinton LRT apparently enters its last day of testing today according to Metrolinx CEO
There was never truly transparency as when they started true revenue testing and if they stopped or reset the testing after the ward accident, but i guess we will take every good news.

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

Eglinton Crosstown LRT misses another deadline. Metrolinx has ‘hope’ it will open this year – Toronto

The head of Metrolinx said at a press conference Friday that the Eglinton LRT trains are still having “reliability and performance issues.”
New date: October

Metrolinx testing of Eglinton LRT is still moving forward and apparently progressing. But still no timelines.
Now they are concerned about how old those Bombardier trains are since i guess a lot of them have been sitting in the garage for years.
It does seem that it's still Metrolinx running the show, so definitely not transferred fully to the TTC

Eglinton Crosstown LRT may be facing yet another delay
Let me die now
#toronto #metrolinx #topoli #ttc #transit #crosstown #EglintonCrosstownLRT
I'll bloody say there's a "Significant delay" on Line 5 / the Eglinton Crosstown line.
Despite the line not being open (and unlikely to open for months) the service status monitors update frequently with completely made-up travel information. This one's at the Kennedy terminus at the east end. The stations along Eglinton E are showing fictitious arrival times, too (except where the LCDs are glitched out and broken).

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

The two sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity confirmed to the Star that the Eglinton Crosstown is expected to open in September 2025.
Premier confirms Eglinton LRT is likely not to open this year. Refuses to provide information as to why it is being delayed.

Will the Eglinton Crosstown LRT open in 2024? Metrolinx is ‘not going to speculate’
Plus ça change... god forbid they actually try to be transparent.

#EglintonCrosstownLRT #eglintoncrosstown #metrolinx #toronto
Premier Doug Ford’s office directed Metrolinx to keep Crosstown opening date secret, emails show
For what it's worth, I frequently drive around the line (the part that is at street level, in Scarborough), and there are trains but also people doing repairs/maintenance on the track every day.
It’s almost the 2 month anniversary of when #metrolinx said they would give us an update every 2 months on the #EglintonCrosstownLRT.
If Phil Verster wakes up on Nov 27 and doesn’t see the shadow of his $850K salary, does that mean we will have 6 more years of construction?
