when it has been legally handed over after RSD is complete, similar to what recently happened with Finch.

Any word on when this is being handed over to the ttc? What’s the latest holdup? This thread will be beside itself the day it finally happens.

Do we know the size of the contract? Tyia

their Q2 conference call, not sure if a replay is available yet: https://edge.media-server.com/mmc/p/37es74zo/

FWIW Aecon said this morning that they expect RSD by August or September and that it lasts for a period of 30 days as per the contract.

simulation as in revenue service demonstration? sorry I haven't kept up with the all the distinct stages that TTC graphic they posted on their last update.

Would Wednesday service testing be considered part of RSD or yet another intermediary step? Tyia

As far I as my understanding- Finch is 100% done, waiting for drivers to be trained on Eg before moving over to Finch. TTC is being difficult, leveraging their union to fight every little detail that isn't to their liking and Metrolinx has limited recourse to speed up the timeline, Sounds like...

it was full of construction related materials and garbage, now gone completely.

Eg station completely cleaned up, I getting cautiously optimistic of a June RSD announcement

so......have we confirmed that driver signup for the trial service is ongoing? if so when does that start? sounds like its the same for Finch? A 2 for 1 special on the start date would of course be putting lipstick on a pig, all the more reason for Metronlinx/TTC to do exactly that.

Thanks for the all the detail. Is your understanding that the two software systems are not connecting with each other via an API? I would assume they need to communicate with each other? This sounds equal parts easily solvable and highly complex lol, any software engineers care to chime in...

how does one correct a wildly speculative and unsubstantiated rumour?

Can you share what happened here? Seemed like they had good momentum heading into the holidays.
