"Ethan Lang Good morning! This is Ethan Lang, a web writer with CBC Toronto. My colleagues and I will be providing updates throughout the morning as weekday commuters finally get the chance to ride the long-awaited Eglinton Crosstown LRT, or Line 5. Fifteen years after construction on the new line began, the first trains rolled out Sunday, mostly without a hitch. Monday will be a new test, as Line 5 gets its first taste of Toronto rush hour traffic."
Eglinton Crosstown LRT, Line 5, has begun gradual service after years of delays, operating daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. and moving to full service in spring. Trains are scheduled to arrive every four minutes and 45 seconds during peak periods. The first trains ran Sunday after fifteen years of construction and were mostly without incident. Monday's morning rush hour will provide a larger operational test under weekday commuter conditions. City leaders attended a ceremony to mark the opening. Observers and experts are assessing whether Line 5 will face challenges similar to those encountered on Line 6.
