    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Mid Feb makes no sense. It took Finch 6 weeks between RSD end to opening. By all accounts, the timing should be faster for Eglinton. Which would mean early Jan. I don't see how the TTC needs another 2+ months to get this thing going. A couple small things I've noticed on my daily walk by of...

    Literally 0% chance of that happening. Silly comment.

    No they didn't. They explicitly said that substantial completion will happen quicker than line 6 because they already finished all their operator training. People in this forum love making up things to act like the sky is falling. We are weeks away from this thing opening and no one is willing...

    And don't forget this bus is very inconsistent. Plenty of times the screens show something is coming to Eglinton station in 2 minutes, but nothing shows up for 10. Buses also get super crowded with highschool students and office workers during rush hour, so sometimes you can't even get on the...

    As someone who takes this bus between the two transfer points, 14 minutes is very generous. You get bottle necked in so much traffic at Avenue, Allan, and leaving Cedarvale station. Going East is not as bad, but going west is painfully slow. It could easily be 25 minutes plus. My guess is maybe...

    New maps up at Eglinton Station. I get that they probably don't want to print signs twice with the opening of Line 6. But I take it as a good sign that the main station that connects to Line 5 has this up everywhere. Trying to counteract the metric tons of doom and gloom on this thread.

    They have removed all the fencing around the new Eglinton station entrance. Progress is progress.

    They have removed all the fencing around the Chaplin and Avenue stations over the last couple days. I take it as a good sign.
