Metrolinx is announcing that there will be a selective reduction in GO train and bus and UP Express service in continued support of provincial action and to protect Ontarians from COVID-19. These changes will take effect starting on Wednesday, March 18. Revised schedules are being finalized and will be available by Sunday March 15th at noon.
“Our key consideration is ensuring our services can continue and our employees and customers are safe,” said Metrolinx President and CEO Phil Verster. “We want to ensure there is a reliable and sustainable plan for service to continue over the weeks to come.”
“GO and UP Express are vital to our region,” Verster said. “Every route we serve, we will continue to serve.”
We are reducing services to be in line with the expected reduction in ridership due to March Break, school closures and the significant shift in many organizations’ work-from-home policy.
“Our customers will still get the same safe experience, our Transit Safety and customer service teams will continue to be available to help customers get where they need to go. Our teams will also maintain the increased level of cleaning on our vehicles and stations.”
Metrolinx is working with municipal transit authorities across the region to ensure our services remain coordinated to offer the best travel choices for our customers.
Those schedules are as follows:
