The Federal Government of Canada has announced CAD1.7 billion (US$1.4 billion) funding for the Hamilton Light Rail Transit project. The project is expected to cost CAD3.4 billion (US$2.8 billion), which will be split between the provincial government of Ontario and the Federal government.
14-kilometre long Hamilton Light rail will connect McMaster University to downtown Hamilton and Eastgate at Centennial Park. The rail network will have 17 stations and the end-to-end journey time will approximately be 32 minutes. The project was cancelled due to high costs in 2019.
