Excitement surrounded the launch of Toronto’s Eglinton Crosstown LRT (Line 5) on Sunday, marking a significant milestone 15 years in the making. Despite a mechanical issue causing brief delays shortly after the inaugural ride, crowds gathered at stations, with riders expressing their joy at the new transit option. The first trains departed Kennedy and Mount Dennis stations, with a phased rollout set to operate limited hours initially. Festivities included live music and homemade buttons for the first passengers, celebrating a long-awaited addition to the city’s transit system.
