Eglinton Crosstown LRT: Sunday Station Opening Times Revealed
The Eglinton Crosstown LRT is poised to begin operations on Sunday morning. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is emphasizing a “phased opening” approach, in stark contrast to the celebratory launch of the Finch West LRT. There will not be a formal ceremony, ribbon-cutting, or commemorative merchandise.
