The Eglinton Crosstown LRT has become a running joke in Toronto: long-delayed, over budget, and still without a confirmed completion date in sight....
Almost a decade and a half after the project was announced, and following a dozen years of frustrating construction disruptions,Three years have passed since its initial projected completion date of 2020, and commuters still have no clue when their new ride will finally arrive.
Metrolinx must be all too aware of its public perception regarding the bungled Crosstown disaster and appears to be trying to get people re-hyped about the 19-kilometre light rail line with some good, old-fashioned PR. The transit agency has begun releasing flashy new marketing-style videos to promote the long-overdue line, and seemingly make Toronto forget how long this new transit route has sat just out of reach, unused and mostly complete.
We’ll be sharing the latest looks into the stations, vehicles and technology behind the line starting tomorrow with Oakwood Station.However, the move is not necessarily being met with the warmest reception from commenters, who are demanding real news on the Crosstown's projected opening.
