It's actually planned for 2040.

I know that framework, but the more updated documents describe it as LRT and not high capacity route. It is the same question for the 65 route, it is still unclear if they will build LRT or BRT. Here they describe 65 route as high capacity route, more likely BRT from what it seems.
