Background: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_5_Eglinton
Resolves once the first rider actually uses the line, or if we enter 2030 without completion.
Update 2025-09-30 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Phased/partial openings count if the public can meaningfully use some portion of the line (regular passenger service).
Does not count: non-operational openings like a single station open for tours only.
People are also trading
The Star is reporting that the line may open “in phases”. How does this affect market resolution? Is an opening of any kind “completed”?
@hwilkinson ughhh. Okay, any kind of opening counts, as long as the public can use some portion of the line meaningfully. A single station being open for tours or something would not count.

From the article we can conclude that until Metrolinx makes an announcement, the lower bound on opening time is 3 months.
