Here's what we can look forward to opening in 2025 for transit projects in the US! Everything from extended subway lines, to light rail, new rapid bus lines, a streetcar extension, a people mover and a whole lot more.
What did we miss that should have been included on the list? We kept this list to within the US, but are there any big extensions elsewhere that you are looking forward to seeing in 2025? Let us know!
