Eglinton Crosstown LRT Sunday Schedule: Station Opening Times Announced
The Eglinton Crosstown LRT is set to commence operations on Sunday morning, marking a significant milestone in Toronto’s transit system. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is promoting the opening as a “phased opening” rather than a formal event. This comes after 15 years of construction, and the TTC is taking precautions to manage the initial launch effectively.
