The Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT) line officially opened today, marking the start of service after more than ten years of construction and postponements. To celebrate the launch, the transit authority is offering free rides on opening day.
The new LRT line runs along Eglinton Avenue, providing a key east-west transit connection in Toronto. It is expected to improve travel times and increase transit capacity across the city.
**Why this matters**
The Eglinton Crosstown LRT is one of Toronto’s largest transit projects, designed to alleviate congestion on existing subway and bus routes. Its completion is anticipated to enhance public transportation accessibility and support future urban development along the corridor.
