At Finch West and Keele, they removed the temporary traffic lights and reactivated the permanent traffic lights.
and meanwhile last year, the machines that they installed on the CT were actually REMOVED....(this was at the aga khan stop) ominous signs indeed.
It's so odd to see an LRT sailing through that bleak suburban wasteland.
This might just be a max speed test, but looks pretty fast.
Hoping operation speed is close to this.
Did they hand high speed testing over to the Brits? They're on the wrong side!

This is totally going to open before Eglinton![]()
I agree. I also wish that they would continue building the Line 6 originally imagined and extend the Finch West LRT to Finch station. Connecting both sides of Line 1 north of Bloor (eventually north of Eglinton, whenever the Crosstown may open) would be a game changer as east west rapid transit in Toronto especially to those north of Line 2 is critically lacking.I know this is a much less complex project compared to Eglinton, but I really hope this level of execution carries over to the Ontario Line. Its night and day compared to Eglinton.
38 mins for 10,3 KM isn’t rapid transit. I do feel they should work on improving travel time as top priority before expanding the line.I agree.

I did a Google search after reading your post cause I thought you were joking, and then I got this;38 mins for 10,3 KM isn’t rapid transit. I do feel they should work on improving travel time as top priority before expanding the line.
average speed is calculated by using the total distance of the line and the time it takes to get there. This includes the time decelerating, dwell times at stops and time accelerating. For context most bus routes have an average speed somewhere around 15-17 km/h the 29 Dufferin has an average speed during peak times of as low as 10.6 km/h. Line 6 once operating is likely going to be quite consistent with its average speed and is unlikely go much lower than that 20 km/h averageI did a Google search after reading your post cause I thought you were joking, and then I got this;

Can someone clarify this? Are we seriously talking about LRVs that will only travel 20km/h between most stops? This can't be. I must have misread something here.
