"The Toronto Transit Commission will take the Finch West LRT to the finish line following the success of a 30-day trial run, the province announced on Thursday. The TTC will take control of the new Line 6 route in just over a week, according to a news release from the Ministry of Transportation. The public launch date is yet to be determined and it will be up to the TTC to decide when the line will open, the release says."
"Major construction on the Finch West LRT started in 2019 and wrapped up last fall, about four years after initially expected. The line will run along Finch Avenue W., primarily above ground, with 18 stops from Humber College to Finch West, where it connects with Line 1. The line's zero-emission vehicles can each hold up to 300 passengers, according to the province's release, and can travel at up to 60 km/h."
