HSR Next is a plan for a frequent rapid transit system operated by the Hamilton Street Railway in the city of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The plans include an overhaul of the existing bus network, converting it from a hub-and-spoke network to a point-to-point network. Also included are six rapid routes, with one light rail transit (LRT) line, and five bus rapid transit (BRT) lines, alongside changes to local routes and additional on-demand transit zones. The system was approved by Hamilton City Council on September 15, 2025, and is planned for implementation beginning in 2026.
