This is how it went down, right?

A: "Me too. Let's say it at the same time!"
B: "High capacity shared vehicles on fixed routes on fixed schedules!"
A: "Individual vehicles owned and operated separately!"

"First powered light rail vehicle crosses I-90 floating bridge" by Sound Transit (Seattle) - With overhead catenary lines powered, a Link Light Rail vehicle tested crossing the I-90 floating bridge on Lake Washington between Seattle and Bellevue in preparation for early 2026 opening of the full 2 Line. It crossed at increasing speeds from 5mph to 55mph. Testing at night allowed observation where electrical arcs occur, for adjustment of the lines. https://www.soundtransit.org/get-to-know-us/news-events/news-releases/first-powered-light-rail-vehicle-crosses-i-90-floating#Seattle #transit#PNW

I'll bloody say there's a "Significant delay" on Line 5 / the Eglinton Crosstown line.
Despite the line not being open (and unlikely to open for months) the service status monitors update frequently with completely made-up travel information. This one's at the Kennedy terminus at the east end. The stations along Eglinton E are showing fictitious arrival times, too (except where the LCDs are glitched out and broken).
