Line 6 Finch West, also known as the Finch West LRT,^[8] is a light rail transit line under construction in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to be operated by the Toronto Transit Commission. The 10.3-kilometre (6.4 mi),^[5] 18-stop line is to extend from Finch West station on Line 1 Yonge–University to the North Campus of Humber Polytechnic in Etobicoke. The line will operate in a dedicated above-ground right-of-way, much of it within Finch Avenue, segregated from street traffic. The line will use transit signal priority and standard gauge rather than the broad Toronto gauge. The line is forecast to carry about 14.6 million rides a year or 40,000 a day by 2031^[9] and will replace the 36B Finch West bus route (west from Finch West station), which is one of the three busiest bus routes in Toronto.^[9]^[10] In 2023, Line 6 was expected to open within the first half of 2024,^[11] with an estimated cost of CA$2.5 billion.^[12] In early December 2024, Councillor Jamaal Myers, chairman of the TTC board, stated that the TTC did not expect Line 6 to open before June 2025 at the earliest.^[4] Metrolinx, the project owner, has not announced an opening date.
