Ontario adding 300 GO train trips per week to GTA routes
CBC
The Ontario government says it is adding 300 weekly GO train trips to routes throughout the GTA, a service expansion that Metrolinx is billing as the largest in more than a decade.
The additional trips on the Lakeshore West, Lakeshore East, Milton, Stouffville and Kitchener lines will begin April 28, Premier Doug Ford said at a news conference Monday.
Changes riders can expect include:
Ford announced the impending GO service expansion at a rail yard in Milton. Voters in Milton will choose a new MPP in a byelection set for May 2.
The seat has been empty since former Ford cabinet minister Parm Gill resigned to run for the federal Conservative party.
