Durham Region GO Train customers are in for a treat – as Metrolinx recently announced the largest GO Train service increase in years.  

Part of those changes means increased frequency along the Lakeshore East Line, stopping at GO stations in Durham Region, including Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Durham College Oshawa GO.  

Here’s what you need to know:    

  • Lakeshore East customers can jump on a train every 15 minutes on weekend afternoons and evenings between Durham College Oshawa GO and Union Station  

  • An improvement compared to the previous 30 minutes service

Saving money with transit  

Speaking of choice, using transit across the region is now as simple as tapping your debit or credit card.  

Seniors and students can benefit from significant discounts when paying with a PRESTO card.  

What’s more – kids 12 and under ride for free on GO Transit! Adults in the group can hop from GO to TTC for free with Ontario’s One Fare Program – and all it takes is a single tap.  

More affordable transit makes it easier and cheaper to go to work, school, take in a game, visit friends and family, and so much more, without getting into a car.
