I don’t know what city this post is referencing, but I’d be willing to bet a ton of money it’s not in the US lol.
It's Montreal, so you are indeed correct. Honolulu did actually open the first segment of a very similar automated light metro system just 2 weeks ago, although it doesn't have the same service frequency as ours. It's still enough to make it America's newest metro system, though!
Is this the REM? Operating frequency is 3:45 to 7:30.
Perhaps it is one of the future legs that will hit 2:30?
From what I understood, it will be 3:45 at first and they will ramp it up eventually to 2:30 on the existing line
Meanwhile in Toronto, there's a bunch of public transit "promised" but all of them are going to run over the deadline by like 5 years. It's still way better than nothing.
2 weeks from now, give or take a couple decades
