The BLAST network is a plan for a frequent rapid transit system in the city of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The system is planned to include five routes, with two light rail transit (LRT) lines, and three bus rapid transit (BRT) lines. In 1981, during Bill Davis's Progressive Conservative administration, the Province of Ontario offered to finance the construction of a light metro in Hamilton using ICTS technology, from Lloyd D. Jackson Square to the Lime Ridge Mall. The line would have used the same technology as the Scarborough RT in Toronto and the Expo Line in Vancouver. The plans triggered a lot of grass-roots opposition, and Hamilton-Wentworth Council turned the proposal down. The plan called for an elevated track – one of the elements that triggered opposition, with residents being concerned commuters would be invading their privacy, by looking down on their back-yards and in their second floor windows.
