The Eglinton Crosstown LRT opens after 15 years of construction

On a brisk Sunday morning, the first TTC riders boarded the Eglinton Crosstown LRT after 15 years of frustration, disappointment and seemingly never-ending construction.

The inaugural train left from Kennedy Station at 7:29 a.m., a minute early, in stark contrast to the project’s beleaguered timeline.

But as the first train left, it was immediately held at a red light, to the frustration of riders who had waited for hours in subzero temperatures and have been calling for transit signal priority.


Let the Sh*tShow begin.
