The real reason Toronto limits Line 5/6 LRT vehicles to 25km/h through intersections Is the Toronto TTC ready for the disruption caused by LRT collisions?

When the Eglinton Crosstown LRT opens on Feb 8, it will still be subject to TTC's requirement of slowing from 60 km/h to 25km/h when crossing intersections...

I was hoping that all those Finch LRT closures were just part of the learning process to operate it.

This piece has a harder edge than the headline suggests:

"My own first impression was: fire everyone. Fire every manager at the TTC and in the city’s transportation department and at Metrolinx.... “Soft launch”? We ought to soft launch them all right into the sun.""
