TORONTO – The CEO of the Toronto Transit Commission has confirmed the long-awaited Eglinton light rail transit line will open this Sunday.
Mandeep Lali told a TTC board meeting that it will be a phased opening as service ramps up over time.
He says riding the Eglinton Crosstown LRT will be free on Sunday.
It’s been 15 years since construction began on the line, and six years since it was originally supposed to open.
The 19-kilometre, 25-station line will run between Kennedy Station in east Toronto and Mount Dennis in the west, and the province has said service will ramp up over six months.
A report last fall from the provincial transit agency Metrolinx said the project had incurred a cost of over $13 billion.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 3, 2026.
