I understand from information associated with the link that it is due to
enter regular service in Spring 2010. But is there a more specific date,
I wonder?



I can imagine months of trials, with glitches coming to light,
followed by abandonment and replacement with minibuses. It is
probably just a gimmick that will soon be forgotten.


I can easily see "glitches" coming to late and "safety" issues arising,
to say nothing of what is going to happen on the first days of service.

I do hope that they can eventually get something going, though I imagine
that a wait-and-see approach would be the best thing at this moment.
