Finch West LRT

Project overview

With 18 stops across 10.3 kilometres of rail, the Finch West Light Rail Transit (LRT) line will run along Finch Avenue West from Keele Street to Highway 27, where it will turn, then travel south to the Humber College north campus. It will sport connections with other TTC lines, as well as connections to Peel and York Region local transit services.
