We Canadians are so naive when we criticize others' country on " corruption," "Africa countries, China, Vietnam, etc... But at home, Canada here... we " harbor " all kinds of corruptions. This Ellington Cross town LRT and many more constructions are where the corruptions taken places, right in front of your eyes

When does the city expects to award the West Expansion? Is WestEx consortium the same group that is constructing the East portion?

Remember when they could build a railroad across the whole country in 5 years….And with mostly just humans and draft animals?

end of service life loll

It's insane the time it's taking to build this thing. Montreal did 70 kilometers and double the station, and two-thirds are already in service. They started at the same time.

Thank you for making this update video

Metrolink is trying to make history, avg building 2km per year completed.

What a joke, hope people are getting FIRED after this?!

You should check out the Finch west LRT

NORTH AMERICA/CANADA, reason for “SLOWER BUILS, IS CORRUPTION!” Also “NO CHARGES FOR DELAY OF COMPLETION!” CHINA would have completed MANY-MANY KILOMETRES IN JUST A FEW MONTHS. WHY?

Should have been completely underground and used trains, Torontos planners are country bumpkins with no idea what type of infrastructure is required🤦🏾‍♂️

28km of light fail

Why do I need to rely on intrepid TH-camrs for information on these projects and not the city?

toronto is a living hell

Looking forward to my ashes being carried on the inaugural run!

Quick summary: no progress yet but check with us in 5 years time. Thank you and have a great day.

Public money sitting there for years. By the time we use it its time to be renovated and updated. Open up at least some of the grass areas outside and sitting areas inside for the public that funded it.

i thought they are retiring this now after 14 years in the making including testing LOL

Extremely informative and well done video!

What a joke. They built the entire Chunnel in 6.9 years

Because of national and provincial security, the opening date of the first section of Line 5 is withheld, unless you have the needed security clearance.

15 years construction, absolutely pathetic, projects like this would have been completed in 2-3 years in Europe and Asia.

The British & French built th chunnel 50.46km under the English channel in only 6 years. The Eglinton LRT is shorter and has already taken twice as long. Someone needs to be fired, Metrolinx is a total waste.

We NEED to protest this line ASAP. No more delays or excuses. Also, when this line opens, they need to fire the CEO of Metrolinx, Phil Verster. We've been waiting 14 YEARS and in that same time span, his pay has gone up SIGNIFICANTLY. Ridiculous and insulting.

Could we just force the damn line to open??? Its more finished then line 1 and 2.

It takes so many years to build a subway in a big city. So interesting😂

China put a high speed rail system in turkey in 6months!!! What a joke and huge money lit fall ! Stealing tax payers dollars... and destroyed local businesses!

By the way the only subway project that was completed on time and under budget was the Sheppard line… completed by TTC only.. no private contractors in charge.

this line started construction in year 2011. I'd be very happy if this rail start operating in year 2111.

Good info but sounds like speaker has a mouthful of marbles

Shocking that no one will be held responsible for this mess

Now scheduled to open in 2038

ideally even if they use same sized ships they could add an upper ramp so the stairs to the upper level would be redundant. the other thing they could do is extend the tunnel that you can walk through to the island airport to give people a choice and an option in case the ferries are unable to operate. other than that i agree presto would be an excellent integration

Your video was informative and useful. Than you

will open just before the world ends

Well lookit the size of the buildings and concrete . A little more of a modest train track coulda cost less and be built sooner .

Can’t at least part of it open? If the whole thing has to wait until all the stations are open, it will never open.

This project is a complete embarrassment to all Torontonians, many years late, billions over budget and still inoperable. The same applies to the new and also inoperable Finch LRT. Meanwhile the same obviously incompetent provincially owned contractor Metrolinx has started building the subway extension known as the Ontario line. This project is already over budget and expected to be years late. How do we get out of the circle of incompetence? Firing Premier Doug Ford at the next election would be a good place to start.

Toronto sucks.

The project that never ends.

its a joke since 2011

It's not light, nor rapid ,nor useful transit, but someone sold us tax payers on the idea ummm like a decade ago now? Build Condos for ummm... wait who's buying a condo these days? There's nothing better than another Sheppard Line.

Hey Jamie I worked with you at PFR last spring! What a small world haha. Great video! I definitely agree that Cherry station is a missed opportunity

The Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit Network has now taken over a decade to complete. Line 1 subway system which is longer was completed in only 8 years and is 8.3 km in length and its operational. Metrolinx is taking the city and the province for all it can get in money. Expect an increase in transit fares for the Greater Toronto Area.

Great, we can look forward to this extension opening in 2075.

At the rate they're going, the Toronto Maple Leafs might win the Stanley Cup before this opens...

❤

This crap is never opening.

Ah 14 years and still not done

All these 15 stations are near the finish line
