Holiday GO & UP Express Service
TORONTO - December 20, 2017: It’s a busy time of year for travellers and Metrolinx wants to ensure customers get home safely during the holiday season.
GO Transit will again offer additional late-night service and free rides after 7:00 p.m. on New Year’s Eve. The schedule of additional late-night service is listed below.
And for the first time, UP Express will also be free after 7:00 p.m. on New Year’s Eve.
A few reminders to customers:
- Plan ahead for your trip home from the GO parking lot—a train ride will not sober you up.
- Keep your celebrations polite and your ‘spirits’ bottled up. Drinking on the train is not allowed.
- If you need assistance, please look out for our Transit Safety Officers, extra officers will be on duty to help you get home safely.
GO Transit is also providing early homebound service and staff will be working throughout the holidays to ensure you can safely get to your celebrations.
