The Ontario Line, a 15.6-kilometer rapid transit project connecting Exhibition Place to the vicinity of Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue, is now projected to cost approximately $34 billion. This figure represents a tripling of the government's original 2019 cost estimate, according to the CEO of Metrolinx, Ontario's regional transit agency.
The project, which will serve areas including the site of the former Ontario Science Centre, faces significant budgetary escalation. While the current price tag is set at $34 billion, officials indicate that costs continue to climb as the infrastructure development progresses.
