  The ARIEL facility is being commissioned to triple the availability of radioactive ion beams with ISAC at TRIUMF. The ARIEL separator and front-end facility also referred to as radioactive ion beam (RIB) transport system, connects the two new ARIEL target stations to the existing ISAC facility. The RIB transport system acts as a switchyard, in excess of 200 meters of beamlines, for delivering two additional simultaneous beams from the two ARIEL target ion sources. The primary optical building blocks of the RIB transport system are the matching, periodic, order-reversing, low-beta-insertion, dogleg, and achromatic bend sections. These blocks consist of electrostatic optical elements such as quadrupole, bender, and steerer. The first phase of the ARIEL installation is completed, and commissioning is well underway. The paper will describe the recent commissioning and early operation results of the ARIEL RIB transport system.
