Ontario’s GO Transit to add midday train service

Ontario government officials yesterday announced that as of Aug. 31, Metrolinx will add and extend 148 train trips across the GO Transit rail network to accommodate rush-hour, midday and evening service. 

Metrolinx will add 84 new trips across the Kitchener, Lakeshore East and Lakeshore West GO train lines and extend 65 existing trips across the Lakeshore West and Kitchener lines. 

The expansion will increase train service across Ontario by 8 percent and “transform GO into a comprehensive two-way, all-day rapid transit system with service every 15 minutes on core segments of the network,” said Ontario Transportation Minister Caroline Mulroney in a press release.
