I saw that the Ottawa system looks like it has only 12 days of simulated service...
I recently heard from someone that they are aiming for early June due to the schedules of important people that need to be present for the opening ceremony (very grand event I hear) and to give themselves a bit of a buffer - even though it might be ready for service sometime in May.
If that's true, that's stupid. If it's ready for April 15, for example, then that is when they should start service. If important people can't attend then too bad, because obviously this is not important to them. Really, the important people are the taxpayers, and the LRT users. Not those that promised a system for autumn 2017 but only had it ready late spring 2019.
