This is the best summary I could come up with:
OC Transpo says it's in the home stretch of preparations to open the north-south Trillium light rail line, but management won't yet commit to a specific date to begin service.
Michael Morgan, director of the city's rail construction program, said OC Transpo is now in a final eight-to-10 week phase that began on July 8.
As part of that process, OC Transpo is aiming to meet a 98.5 per cent reliability standard during a trial running period that hasn't yet started.
Transit services general manager Renée Amilcar said if the system can't meet that standard, they would have to "start again" and "continue until we get it."
When it starts, trial running will begin with a 14-day reliability testing period followed by a seven-day phase simulating various "failure scenarios" such as an immobilized train, a failed rail switch or a medical emergency on board.
Steve Desroches, chair of the light rail subcommittee, said residents in his suburban south Ottawa community have been eagerly waiting for the train, which has already been delayed by two years.
The original article contains 739 words, the summary contains 171 words. Saved 77%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Can't wait for the crime to start moving around the city faster, if this thing doesn't break that is
