Off the rails: The inside story of how the Eglinton Crosstown LRT went from transit dream to cautionary tale

Over the past decade and a half, the Crosstown has cast a shadow on a swath of Toronto and is becoming, to many, a symbol of the city’s inability to fulfil its potential.

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).

There Is Significant delay on Line 5 between Keelesdale
and Cedarvale

Service Disruptions: [Line 5 logo]
Normal Service: [lines , 2 and 4 logos]

Notice is also repeated in French
