Canada's $12BN New Underground "Light" Rail in Toronto
The $12.5 billion “Line 5 Eglinton” of Toronto, also known as the Eglinton Crosstown or just “Crosstown”, is the topic of today’s video.
The Crosstown is a light rail line, which is currently under construction in Toronto, Canada.
A light rail transit or LRT is a type of passenger urban rail transit that combines the features of both tram and metro.
The Crosstown is part of Metrolinx's regional transportation plan, The Big Move, a 25-year long plan, worth $50 billion for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).
