Good question, and I don't remember the timeframe for announcements of service levels back in 2008 when light rail service started. I guess it's good not to announce too early because conditions can change quickly, especially with the impact of the pandemic.
Here's some more coverage I just read. Apparently, construction accelerated during the pandemic, but the pandemic has delayed production of the vehicles. As a result, service won't begin until fall. That's probably for the best because it is unlikely ASU will be back to typical levels of campus activity before then.
