Despite repeated promises that Ottawa's new LRT system would be up and running in 2018, OC Transpo boss John Manconi told city councillors Monday the Confederation Line won't be ready for passengers until early 2019. RTG handed over the new schedule on Friday night, OC Transpo boss John Manconi told the city's finance and economic development committee Monday morning. RTG has asked to push the deadline back to Nov. 30, but Manconi expressed skepticism the consortium can meet that deadline, either. An independent assessment team of experts overseeing the LRT process for the city suggested to Manconi the system won't be ready until at least February. The consortium missed its original May 24 deadline for completion.
