Ladies and gentlemen... rejoice

Yes! Praise be unto the lord.

What do they mean by phased opening? Is the entirety of the line going to be open or are they going to leave out parts?

Similar to Finch... reduced hours, no TSP

Full transit signal priority won't happen until May, while the initial operations will see reduced hours (until 11 PM) and slightly reduced frequencies.

In any case, it's about time they finally confirmed the February 8 opening!

It's confusing, because by phased opening I would assume they mean that only certain sections of the line will be open inititally.

Regarding tsp, ttc says that it will be used intermittently on opening day but i suspect they are referring to tsp if trams are running behind schedule but no details were really provided here so its hard to say.

Based on out understanding on line 6s phased opening, it just means less frequency, less operating hours, etc.

What it means is after 11 PM, there will be shuttle buses for first 6 months.

No, we gotta make room for the people who are gonna spend the next month demanding that the world give them credit for the brave, bold, genius prediction that a transit line which opened five years behind schedule might have a shaky launch.

I think the schedule shown a page or so back showed LRT service until 11, and buses starting at 10:00 pm...

You would think.. wait until a train derails ala Silver Streak.

I wish it were so, but I am afraid it will not be.

Only if we didn't learn any of the lessons from Line 6.

No such luck.

At the very least, expect it to sick around until the changes TSP are rolled out.
