Metrolinx advises of upcoming GO service changes that will impact the community on the Lakeshore West line.

Metrolinx conducts comprehensive reviews and adjustments to GO Transit schedules throughout the year. This is done to ensure that services align with customer needs and resources are allocated to where they are most needed. Starting Saturday, August 31, we’re expanding and adjusting GO bus service across the network to better meet customer needs, including new express route options, additional trips, and more service to post-secondary institutions.

Service to post-secondary institutions returns and we’re bringing your community even more options for back to school, including new routes and express options.

  • More trips on routes 15, 25, 29, 30, 31, 41, 47, 56 and 88.
  • New express options available on routes 25, 30 and 41:
  • New route 25A (Waterloo / Mississauga Express via Milton Carpool Lot at Regional Rd. 25 @ Hwy.    401)
  • New route 30E (Waterloo / Bramalea Express, by-passing Kitchener GO)
  • New route 41B (McMaster / Centennial College E

We’re also adding more bus trips on some routes during busy periods to your community with more options when they need them most. More trips on the following routes:

  • Route 27B – Meadowvale / North York: introducing more trips Monday through Thursday.

We’re also adjusting schedules to better reflect actual travel times and to improve connections, with some trips departing up to 25 minutes earlier or later.

  • On Route 52, all weekend eastbound trips will depart 25 minutes earlier.
  • Changes on most routes across the network of up to 10 minutes earlier or later.
  • Please be sure to check your schedules before you travel.
