I think all of UT should all come up with a common name that we all agree with that we can pitch to Metrolinx, one that they cant ignore.

Here are a couple suggestions:

-Metrolinx Abolisher
-The Consultant
-Toronto the Grey
-No more P3s

Mx will probably go with "PR BS" and "[Redacted]"

I'm definitely going with the consultant, the companies that scam the province deserve to be recognized for their wealth extracting abilities

Realistically, when will this line actually open to the public?

"Realistically", you say?

People have been asking that for 5 years. Or asserting it's going to be very soon, or next year, or never.
You might consider consulting an Ouiji board.

While current project timelines are on track for 2031. Until we really get to the installation of the rails we wont get a concrete absolute timeline

The irony being, it was easy to track its progress as it came across the Atlantic by ship - using the Marine Traffic tracker..

Now try to track its progress as it moves (we can only hope) underground in Toronto.....

Resistance (to the Wagenborg) is futile!!

If anyone cares, the ship was the MV Taagborg of the Wagenborg line, arrived Oshawa harbour June 7th.

Didn't most of the recent TBM projects have a progress tracker? I know they disabled the Scarborough one because it got stuck, but it originally had one.

TYSSE, Crosstown, and Crosstown West all had trackers. Diggy Scardust had one also, until it got stuck.

I'm sure Metrolinx won't let that happen again.
