GO Transit is our regional rapid transit network. It’s made up of seven rail lines that span more than 460 kilometres, fed by a bus system that spans nearly 3,000 kilometres. It connects with 17 municipal transit systems across more than 11,000 square kilometres.
Extending from Union Station, the Stouffville line serves downtown Toronto, East York, Scarborough, Markham, and Stouffville. Our extensive GO bus service accommodates passengers when trains are not in service.
Since the release of our first regional transportation plan (The Big Move) in 2008, Metrolinx has overseen a major expansion of GO train service. On the Stouffville line, we have tripled train service – from 50 weekly trips to 170. The amount of corridor we owned went from nearly 24 kilometres to 31.

Two-way all-day service requires new infrastructure between Lincolnville GO and Union Station. Significant work is already are underway to make the changes needed so the corridor can accommodate two-way all-day service. This means electrifying the route, a new fleet to carry you, plus new signals, communications systems and bridges and tunnels.
Across the corridor, there are many projects under construction or in the planning and pre-construction phases to bring more service to our customers. These include:
- 2 new GO stations (Finch East and Lawrence East, under off-corridor portfolio);
- Upgrades or renovations to all other GO stations;
- New train layover at Lincolnville;
- Grade separation at Steeles Avenue East;
- Double-track grading and construction from Union Station to Unionville.
