Metrolinx unveils LRV prototype at the CNE

>

Metrolinx has unveiled the prototype Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) for the light rail projects in the City of Toronto at the Canadian National Exhibition. Light rail is Toronto’s new mode of transit, and it will bring more transit to more of Toronto. Metrolinx is moving ahead with a network of four new lines, to connect Toronto with comfort, convenience, reliability and speed. The design of the vehicles that will travel along these lines is an important milestone for this project. The LRV prototype will help foster awareness and understanding about this exciting new mode of transportation. The LRV will be stationed outside the main entrance to the Direct Energy Centre, just inside the Princes’ Gates at the Canadian National Exhibition, and Metrolinx will have staff on hand to answer your questions between August 17 and September 3, from 10 am to 10 pm. For More Information: - Ex will feature a sneak peek at Toronto’s new LRVs - The Toronto Star - The CNE offers you a chance to check out an example of the new light rail vehicle coming to the TTC - InsideToronto.com

📸 Rally to Open the Crosstown

On February 19, 2025, TTCriders held the Rally to Open the Crosstown at Yonge and Eglinton to call for answers about the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRT projects. Promised opening dates for the LRTs have come and gone, while transit costs have skyrocketed under Metrolinx. Transit riders are looking for answers and credible opening dates for the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRTs.
TTCriders asked every party to invest in running TTC service and new LRTs with a 50% operating subsidy for local transit systems, and to give the TTC back control over running Toronto transit, to keep costs down and increase accountability.
