Metrolinx crews have officially finished construction on all stations and stops along the Finch West Light-Rail Transit (LRT) alignment including Humber College Station, Finch West Station and every surface level stop in between.
When it opens, the new line will carry millions of riders each year using emission-free light-rail vehicles. Passengers will also benefit from additional transit connections to other regional transit systems such as GO Transit, MiWay, Brampton Transit, York Region Transit and the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC).
Ontario’s One Fare program will help to make these trips more seamless and affordable, allowing riders to transfer for free between systems.
