The head of OC Transpo is not committing to an opening date for the Trillium Line, as testing continues to identify “some gaps and some issues” on the new north-south light-rail transit line.
However, a timeline shared at the light-rail subcommittee meeting suggests the earliest the line could open is October.
“I see things now I want to see now; I don’t want to see in three months. For this reason, I would like to ask you to be patient with us,” Renee Amilcar, transit services general manager, said, noting bugs have been identified during the testing this summer. “I will not commit to any day today to make sure that we capture everything.”
“Fail is not an option for us.”
