In February, 2007, Hamilton City Council endorsed the Hamilton Transportation Master Plan, which proposed three rapid transit lines in the City:

• An east-west line between Eastgate Square and McMaster University along the Queenston Road / Main Street / King Street corridor;

• A north-south line between the Hamilton waterfront and John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport; and

• another east-west line across the Mountain area of the city.

The provincial MoveOntario 2020 initiative will fund the first two lines before 2020.
