Beginning this weekend, changes to Go Transit service will affect those travelling on routes in and out of the Toronto area, to and from Milton, Niagara Falls and Kitchener.
Beginning this weekend, Metrolinx says it will introduce changes to Go Transit service which will affect those travelling on train and bus lines in and out of Toronto, Milton, Niagara Falls, Mississauga, Kitchener and Stouffville.
On Monday, those travelling from Milton on weekdays will see an extra train depart at 7:59 a.m. while an extra train will leave Union Station heading the other way at 5:10 p.m.
The agency also says it is making adjustments to accommodate Toronto Blue Jays fans who live in the Niagara Region.
On Saturdays, the Niagara-bound train will depart at 6:21 p.m. rather than at 5:03 p.m. while the 8:05 p.m. Toronto-bound trains will now leave at 9:05 p.m.
On weekdays at Union Station, the 9:52 p.m. train bound for Niagara will now leave at 10:40 p.m.
There will also be changes for those riding Go buses in Mississauga on Monday as there will now be a new Go Bus Route 21D running between Lisgar and Meadowvale Go to Clarkson station. These express trips will not stop at Erin Mills Transitway or Streetsville Go.
Metrolinx says it has also adjusted some Route 21 trips to allow the buses to sync better with Go Train departure times on the Lakeshore West line.
With overcrowded buses being reported in Kitchener, Metrolinx has added more buses on Route 30.
