Everyone benefits

There will be more trips at every stop along the line, bringing more transit choices to Kitchener-Waterloo, Guelph, Halton Hills, Brampton, Mississauga, Etobicoke, central Toronto and neighbouring communities. Everyone will benefit from more:

Convenience

With more frequent service between Kitchener-Waterloo and Toronto and all stops along the way, you’ll have more ways to connect to the things that matter

Speed

With new electric trains that accelerate faster, your journey times will be cut by up to 20%, so you’ll spend less time getting there and more time being there
Morning trips from Kitchener will run express from Bramalea to Union Station, and afternoon trips from Union Station will run express to Bramalea

Relief

More GO train trips means fewer cars on the road – in the next 10 years, weekly trips across the entire GO rail network will grow from about 1,500 to nearly 6,000, making it easier to choose transit first

Opportunity

Live, work and play where you want, when you want – more frequent service that connects with local transit like Grand River Transit, Guelph Transit, Brampton Transit, MiWay and the TTC will strengthen ties between every community along the line
