What an utter embarrassment and failure of leadership. All the higher ups involved with this project should be ashamed as we close out 2025 without it opening. So pathetic.

With our Teflon Premier I'm not expecting any heads to roll over this

At least those involved in setting uo this design concept and signing the contract have been voted out.
The best the current group could do is not use P3 this way (broken into 2 or 3 phases of P3 as opposed to a single P3 or numerous smaller Design-Bid-Build contracts), and vow that Provincial money will only go to grade-separated transit that appreciably improves the commute of residents.

Actually out, or just an insider sneak preview? I was out on NY's Eve and didn't see any on buses or subway.

It was at a fare collector booth for the taking.

Hate to be the pessimistic one, but when do we start worrying about 2026?

Entering 7th year of not being able to believe it will not be open in a few months.

Delayed all these years, only to be Line 6 V2.0.

Doesn't really matter what he says if it's not going well between now and then.
TTC's mistake was opening Finch before operations were consistent, and run times were 38 minutes as promised (or 33 minutes if they had gone with the TSP).

Honestly, the perpetual "it's the worst ever/never going to open/huge mistake" merry-go-round is exhausting. It bumps the thread for no new content, and regurgitates/rehashes previous discussion.

The province and the city are not short of PR consultants, so I don't understand their media strategy. They could get ahead of the story before opening Line 6, and now Line 5, instead of reacting afterwards and pretending to be surprised (which makes them look either dishonest or incompetent).
Why not open Line 5 now (or even back in December) with a message, repeated many times so it's not missed by anybody, that the line will be running slow for several months, after which the accumulated experience with operations will make it possible to run at the target speed.
What we get instead is overpromise and underdeliver, a recipe for PR disaster.
