The Jane LRT is a proposed light rail line in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, as part of the Transit City proposal announced March 16, 2007, to be operated by the Toronto Transit Commission. It is expected to cost approximately $630 million. With construction to begin in 2013, the line is expected to open in 2017, the sixth of the seven Transit City lines to be complete after the Sheppard East, Etobicoke-Finch West, Waterfront West, Eglinton Crosstown, and Don Mills LRT lines.
