The automatic train control rollout on the Bloor-Danforth line hits its second delay in a year, with the TTC citing a dispute with its signalling contractor.
The TTC confirmed Wednesday that automatic train control on Line 2 won't be complete until at least mid-2027, roughly 18 months behind the timeline the agency gave riders last year.
Transit staff pointed to an unresolved contract dispute over testing protocols as the main driver of the delay, the second the project has faced since construction began.
The upgrade is meant to shorten wait times and allow more trains per hour on one of the system's busiest lines.
