Background: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_5_Eglinton
Resolves once the first rider actually uses the line, or if we enter 2030 without completion.
Update 2025-09-30 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Phased/partial openings count if the public can meaningfully use some portion of the line (regular passenger service).
Does not count: non-operational openings like a single station open for tours only.
The Star is reporting that the line may open “in phases”. How does this affect market resolution? Is an opening of any kind “completed”?
@hwilkinson ughhh. Okay, any kind of opening counts, as long as the public can use some portion of the line meaningfully. A single station being open for tours or something would not count.
Metrolinx CEO "October maybe? lol who knows" you're killing me man https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/theres-obviously-a-lot-of-frustration-eglinton-crosstown-lrt-now-has-another-new-opening-date/article_e0e3c822-5dc8-4c1d-a26b-f903ec1fdc6a.html
@Seanny123 truly so embarrassing that I got so excited by an anonymous source and bet a ridiculous amount

Doesn't look like 2024 is happening https://www.blogto.com/city/2024/09/eglinton-crosstown-lrt-milestone-2024/

From the article we can conclude that until Metrolinx makes an announcement, the lower bound on opening time is 3 months.
