Probably every 6 to 9 minutes running in packs.
Seriously though, someone should pull out a stop watch and time some of these to get a decent average. I'm surprised they are planning to run that high in the next few years! That's a huge capacity.
Though perhaps it's not the revenue service simulation yet? I'd think they'd be wanting to do some tests at much lower frequencies to see what it takes to break it.

I try to check the times on the station signs when I drive by and I’ve seen everything from 3 minutes to 10+ minute frequencies in the last month, whatever that’s worth.Probably every 6 to 9 minutes running in packs.

Is it true they would open on October 12th or November 16th based on current testing progress?

Nobody can say for sure.
Based on what MX CEO has said, he expects revenue service demonstration to go well and finish at the end of september where they would then declare substantial completion of the project.
As I previously found, the contract says the maximum bedding period after that point is 3 months.
There is still a good chance they will open it by the end of the year.

Don’t make any assumptions. Any opening this year might not happen if they discover new flaws. They have plenty of excuses to give. You’ll never know till it starts carrying passengers.

Based on the current odds at Fanduel, smart money says it will be November 1 or later. If you still believe it will be earlier, you can place a bet on your belief.

I'm guessing January, similar to what happened here in Ottawa for Line 2. Final bits after the passing test went well into November, and then they didn't want to start things in December as too many staff were off for the holidays
They probably won't do the very tepid gradual launch thing they did here though, and there isn't the federal government involved which slowed the paperwork stuff, so maybe November could work

My boss at work used to say he wanted things done "yesterday". I don't think TTC bosses are familiar with that expression.

If your boss was Metrolinx, you could get things done 5 years late and you'd be rewarded with a nice big fat bonus and a significant pay raise.
Imagine that kind of incentive; to do absolutely nothing and get handsomely rewarded.

lol maybe get China involved in help building metrolinx project such as this, line 6, Eglinton crosstown west, Ontario line, and Scarborough subway and maybe they will finish these lines much faster than anyone predicted!! 
NOTE: Don’t take this too seriously! It’s just a joke!

Unfortunately, the road resurfacing on Eglinton from Keele to Mount Pleasant will happen without bike lanes per this construction notice.
If you want to raise some hell on this, I prepared an action alert on my blog.

Well, I was wrong in 2023.
Shall we call Spring 2026?
We built the TransCanada railway in a record 4 years with Chinese help. https://torontorailwaymuseum.com/remembering-the-chinese-railway-workers/lol maybe get China involved in help building metrolinx project such as this, line 6, Eglinton crosstown west, Ontario line, and Scarborough subway and maybe they will finish these lines much faster than anyone predicted!!
