If this ACTUALLY opens to the public this year around September, then literally speaking, Happy BLOODY 30th Birthday to me!

I think they were planning on it being a good 50th present to you.

Hopefully it will finally be open by the end of the summer, be even better if it opened in the summer itself

I really hope so too.

If it open in the summer I would sometime bike around the sunnybrook park and try it out

The latest projection is it will be in service by springtime. (the last day of spring is June 20th.)

This is a really cool full scale model of a transit system they built. Took a while but it's cool nonetheless. I think it would be a good idea if they built one that could be used by people though.

i hope there will be more trains that that, that line is going to be CRAZY busy when it opens...can you just imagine RUSH HOUR crowds if it's just that many trains at a time> Is there a site where we can bet on the number of break downs per month?

I thought the platforms are long enough for 3 cars so should be fine

I really hope these cars go much faster than this when the line eventually opens. 🤔

Why does Ontario (Metrolinx) refuse to use transit signals that the rest of the world uses? Without the English-only verbage sign clutter.

@cmmartti 4 ай бұрын

Ontario does use the white bar transit signals in other locations, but I'm not sure why the Eglinton line doesn't use them.

@JayFow 4 ай бұрын

cause why not?

@OntarioTrafficMan Ай бұрын

Because a white bar in Toronto means "turn left or right but do not go straight". If they put white bars on the ECLRT the trains wouldn't be able to move anywhere.

Hopefully the operating speed is actually faster because that's hella slow for the amount of stops it will make and the distance it will travel

@tcsnowdream9975 4 ай бұрын

That always drives me batty with North American transit. It’s so slow! Transit is treated like a Sunday pleasure cruise. Not an actual method of transport.

@@tcsnowdream9975Slow design, consult, build, financing, too many NIMBYs, not ambitious enough. I don't know the frequency but any rubbish or snow or ice on the long track could spell havoc for the entire line since most of it is above ground. Hopefully the team from France, UK, Germany thought of this...

@lepoldbuttersstotch 4 ай бұрын

@@tcsnowdream9975 The issue is they always compare to North America which has the worst public transit per $. Transit in Canada should be aiming for Asian or Western European levels or service, which is good that they have DB as technical partners. A step in the right direction.

What is your feeling based on?@@transitgoods2477 Do you have inside knowledge? I live at Yonge and Eg and I can finally say after so many years that I think it will open this year... the above ground section has been pretty much done for years now, all the stations are complete, and Yonge & Eg is almost fully back to normal.

@mattrix4200 4 ай бұрын

@@stephen9609 based on? The project manager for Metrolinx has said repeatedly that they will NOT commit to a 2024 date at this time, and typically speaking there can be upwards of at least one year of signal & computer interface testing. Sadly this is the age old addage of ''just because it 'looks' good, doesn't mean it is.'' My prediction would be a Spring opening in 2025 because I can't see them opening it during winter months.

If these Bombardier Flexity Freedoms have been running in Kitchener-Waterloo for years and in Edmonton since last November. There’s not much to worry about, especially on how colder it gets in Edmonton.
