    The big change would be, say goodbye to the 32 completely as it would be replaced completely by the LRT.

    It is. The Premier and Mayor, alongside the Transportation Minister and Infrastructure Minister (since Infrastructure Ontario was involved with Line 5), will unveil a plaque.

    There is fanfare, especially among the transit community, it's just muted.

    Ah. I mean to be fair this project was contracted under Wynne in 2015 so it predates him. Let's just hope Dougie doesn't drive down Eglinton one day....

    TTC just updated the www.ttc.ca/line5 page to include more information. It also posted a video of Line 5 to it's Instagram. TTC put on the Line 5 page that it feels the situation around Line 5 is ''different'' from the opening of Line 6 as it's rationale for why there won't be an opening...

    He's still undying. 🤣. But boy, is his concern about to become very real... if we can find him, undead, we can tell him!

    That's like asking why Dalton McGuinty or Kathleen Wynne or David Miller aren't gonna be there since they were the reasons we have an LRT. While Harris is the reason why we never had a subway. But since there is no opening ceremony, it's a moot point.

    It's role will be similar to the 97 Yonge bus. The goal to serve stops in between stations

    Either take the UP Express one stop to Bloor then walk to Dundas West, or take the 27 to Jane Station, or 989 express to Keele.

    That means once the phased opening is over after 6 months.

    This is wrong. Clearly the CEO misspoke and thought Sunday was a Monday. From the TTC website: ''The first westbound trains will depart Kennedy Station starting at 7:30 a.m., and the first eastbound services from Mount Dennis Station from 7:37 a.m. There will not be a grand opening event''.
