More GO service right now
Metrolinx is constantly working to make the region’s transit network even better for you. Beginning this month, we’re adding more GO service across the region in key areas like Kitchener, Georgetown, Malton and Brampton.
On top of that, our yearly GO Explore bus service returns, making it easy to get to some of the best attractions across the region including Canada’s Wonderland and the Toronto Zoo.
And for the first time, we’re serving stops in Six Nations of the Grand River and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nations.
Celebrating Black Excellence
Black history isn’t just for the month of February. In fact, we’re celebrating it all year round. Have you spotted our Golden Bus? Its striking design is the work of Toronto artist Danilo Deluxo. Raised by a Jamaican mother and Cuban father, Deluxo’s life has been shaped by his deep appreciation for the history, culture and contributions people of colour bring.

Which PRESTO card is right for you?
Tap on, tap off. It’s a pretty simple system made even easier now that you can add your PRESTO card to Google Wallet and Apple Wallet. In fact, there’s been over 67 million taps with mobile wallets since support for mobile wallets launched. But what’s the difference between a physical card and a digital card? Well, it all depends on your needs as a commuter.
We’ve put together a handy guide breaking down everything you need to know about physical vs. Digital to help you decide which one works best for you.

2wHas there been any progress towards increased Go Train service during the day (not just rush hour one way) on the Milton line? Also, are there any plans to bring back the direct bus routes to Union that were removed?
