Toronto’s Finch West LRT opens after years of construction, delays
Description
December 7, 2025
Torontonians have some of the longest commute times on the continent, but the city's transit system just got a desperately needed upgrade. After years of construction and delays, the Finch West LRT officially opened Sunday, offering thousands of commuters a ride across the city. It's Toronto's first new rapid transit line in more than two decades – with another line expected to open in the new year. But as Lexy Benedict reports, the opening didn't all go according to plan.
