First time to the Aga Khan museum via Crosstown. Train managed 23 km/h between Ionview and AKP, which I suppose will have to do. Much nicer riding it when it wasn't jam-packed.
Anyway, since this is the Aga Khan museum, here's the blue raspberry lion again
I rode the finally-open Eglinton Crosstown today and it is *slow*. It didn't even average 20 km/h, and other vehicles were passing us.

TTC Line 5 Eglinton Crosstown is finally open, and is in free service today. It's pretty busy, and as the dust inscription on Kennedy station's window says: it's finally open! 😐

I'm not prepared to announce the date on which I shall take my first ride on #Toronto #TTC Line 5 #Crosstown.

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.

A week late but the 30 day revenue testing has started today for the Eglinton LRT line

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

Crosstown is running trains that match the schedule at the stops: every three minutes or so at rush hour. Escalators are running at Kennedy Station. Info boards show Line 5 running with no issues.
There's just one thing missing...
Eglinton Crosstown LRT may be facing yet another delay
Let me die now

I don’t really trust #metrolinx seeing how they did the stations on the Eglinton lane. Tons of valuable real estate wasted by small stations that are taking the whole block. No condo or business on top, nothing, at places where the amount of pedestrians will be super high.
Ooh, I think the Crosstown may actually be doing something. Bus stops along route 34 have little change signs attached. There's a QR code but the TTC url doesn't resolve yet

Metrolinx provides update on long-delayed Eglinton LRT after finding software flaw
It’s a bit of horseshit. I have serious doubts it’s the software that is holding the entire thing for years. For once, software could have been worked on years ago.

And, on getting across the Toronto, I biked out to the Scarborough Bluffs today - the Eglinton Crosstown still isn't open, but it's awesome that Eglinton now has bicycle lanes now most of the way to Kennedy.
Does arrogant, over-paid fucking loser Phil Verster get paid by the number of times he says "relentless"? https://toronto.citynews.ca/2024/09/04/eglinton-crosstown-lrt-no-opening-date-verster-metrolinx/

@CodeRedTO I would love to know what “substantially removed” means in quantifiable terms. Too much subjective language from Metrolinx and I can’t help but feel it is meant to obsfucate. #eglinton #crosstown #OrganizationRunByAnOverpricedEuropeanImportWithAnImpressiveTrackRecordOfFailure

The view when cycling the DVP which is simultaneously inspiring and depressing. Despiring, you might say.
Oh, Crosstown. Maybe someday.
