The replacement of the aging signal system along Line 1 is three years behind schedule and nearly $100 million over budget, according to a new report that will go before the TTC board next week.

The installation of the new Automatic Train Control system was initially supposed to be completed near the end of 2019 but the project now isn’t slated to be finished until September, 2022.30-page report

About nine months of those delays are the result on an operational review which found that large subway closures between St. Clair and St. Clair West stations are “overly disruptive”A further 18 months in delays, meanwhile, resulted from a decision to split the “extremely complex” work at both Wilson Yard and Davisville Yard into three phases, so as not to interfere with the dozens of trains that leave both facilities for the start of service each morning.

Of course it is.

Oh here is yet another of many TTC and City of Toronto disastrous projects

TTC is code word for LITERALLY STEALING TAXPAYER dollar nothing more nothing less.

LETS RAISE THE FARE!

Is it still “the better way”?

98M over budget and 64M lost from presto/fare-evaders...still increasing the fares. What’s its gonna take for the TTC to get its at together!

Bring back dance party fridays .. I think Brandon would love it He such a breathe of fresh air

And when it’s completed is it actually going to work i wouldn’t bet on it

TTC need the Wops and Chops.

Shouldn’t someone be fired over this? 98 million dollars?

really Asia has better train system than Canada and they are considered third world countries..whats happening to taxpayers money? Being misused by transit system

More taxpayer money pissed away! Surprise surprise. But it’s ok. Just raise the fees again to pay for it. What a sad corrupt joke

Now you know why the province wants to take over

A typical TTC infrastructure project. They never ever on time or on budget.

There goes the TTC and it workers sucking the tax payers and riders $$$ again. Wake up everyone the TTC is a cult of employees.

Why is your reporter wearing a dead animal on the hood of his jacket Huge bullshhhhit. It’s 2019 not 1919, we all know the torture involved makg the Canada goose hood

Smh people thinking getting the province in charge of the TTC will make things better. The whole mess in the TTC was caused by the same family currently in charge of Ontario.

Who is responsible for the budget? Someone is sure incompetent

Not 1 year, not 2 years, but 3 years? What, were the workers sitting on their ass or something?

How is this possible? What a joke!

thank goodness the province is taking transit away from the city. Toronto council have no concept of planning. all they know is how to raise fares. That they do well

I am shocked, simply shocked, at this headline! Unheard of for a Government Project to be behind schedule and over-budget!

And it’s all JohnTory fault !!!!!!

'operational review which found that large subway closures between St. Clair and St. Clair West stations are “overly disruptive.' Really? Nobody could have seen in advance that closing giant chunks of the line would be disruptive? 🙄

Yup and how many employees they could of hire with that money to improve service.

Fords fault right! None of these guys can plan properly when it comes to transit

quick raise fares! And people are protesting uploading to the provincial govt.....
