1 week ago Entire Toronto transit line will shut down for the whole weekend

In case air travel wasn't already enough of a challenge right now, travellers relying on the UP Express will be forced to get to and from Toronto Pearson International Airport this weekend via buses.Metrolinx has announced a full-line outage for the UP Express throughout the weekend of Saturday, Nov. 8 and Sunday, Nov. 9, 2025, due to ongoing construction.Trains will not serve any of the four stations along the UP Express during the outage, and Metrolinx's plan to implement replacement buses may require commuters to tack on extra travel time when planning their trips.Travel times could be as much as double between Union Station in downtown Toronto and Pearson International Airport straddling the Toronto-Mississauga boundary, with trips on the express rail line to be replaced by GO buses forced to weave through city traffic.While the UP Express moves passengers between downtown and the airport in as little as 25 minutes, Metrolinx warns that replacement GO buses will cover th...

3 w. ago It looks like Toronto's cursed LRT is going to be delayed yet again

In a break from the elation of the Toronto Blue Jays' surprising playoff run, there has been an entirely unsurprising development with the beleaguered Eglinton Crosstown LRT.The delay-plagued transit line has been in development for over a decade, facing numerous technical, logistical, and legal challenges along the way that have repeatedly pushed back its timelines.Everything seemed to be finally moving in the right direction when it was announced that the line's 30-day revenue demonstration service had begun, and an opening this year was starting to seem possible.However, a Thursday collision between two light rail vehicles at the line's Mount Dennis Yard, first reported by the Toronto Star, could be the latest case of the universe conspiring to thwart the line's opening.Transit rider advocacy group TTCriders has taken a vocal stance against the continued opacity of behind-the-scenes developments and woes on the Crosstown project, and issued a statement on Tue...
