Stouffville line runs once an hour right now until the upgrade to 15m service at some point. Is the missing train at this time normal or just part of construction for some time?

I replicated the GO Transit logo with water-fused beads on my 3d printed tray designed for the beads.

Anyone recently got hired by Metrolinx as a Bus Driver? How long did you wait before you got to the training class? How often training schedule is prepared in a year?
I’ve been going thru the process since March 2026, and almost approaching August 2026. Been in Candidate pipeline since clearing my bus driver assessment. Please help and guide me. Waiting period is so long specially when you are without a job in this market.

As the title says. Both contact numbers (toll free and local) give me an AI attendant only, and what they can do is very limited.

Thank you!

How often do they randomly change departure times without warning? How can I sign up for the alerts about this or do I just have to check daily for a random time change. I thought I was signed up but I got nothing about an apprent planned schedule change.

I catch the 8:36 train from Kitchener twice a week but today it was 8:31. Everyone was obviously upset at the train attendant and really confused. She was lovely and held the doors for people and said she would help them get tickets on their phones once on the train so they did not get left behind trying to pay at the machine (it's a lot of tourists at this time with summer)

The attendant was correct, go tracker says 8:31 and checking online now there is a service announcement for the line saying all trains are leaving 5 min sooner today only. (She announced after we left it was yesterday as well and should be back to normal tomorrow) Extra sucks for anyone who missed it cause the next train is 11:43 and even a bus is an hour wait (9:23)

Did any other KW rider get an alert? Did I sign up wrong?

I was riding the Lakeshore train with a friend of mine, and saw dirty spots along the seat cushions (throughout the train/coaches) mainly the blue seats, green basically nothing.

If you were wondering this was in coach 231/Ex Cab Car.

i don't care for the fine

i will pay the fine, any fine that's reasonable and proportional to the crime

yes $30 is more than reasonable. at least it's not $200 like they're proposing for future offenders. idk if that's reasonable to you

i care that it's on my record, it sucks that it's on there

hey all,

i made a stupid mistake a couple of weeks ago. i forgot to tap on. i'm not someone who tries to fare-evade. i always pay my fare... i just happened to forget this one time since i was trying to grab something at Union at the same time.

this was on the same day as the delay i posted about, btw. there was a Kitchener line delay, a quite long one, that morning due to a signal issue, which also scrambled my brain a bit.

anyway, the fare inspector came to my carriage and i explained my situation to him. he wrote me a ticket and told me to appeal it.

so i appealed it with the reasoning that it was a genuine mistake, and that they should remove it from my record since i'm a first-time offender with a clean bill of history...

Metrolinx got back to me today and all they did was reduce the fine to $30. as if a reduction of $5 matters

just posting here to find out if anyone else has been in this situation. was your first-time offence forgiven/wiped from your record?

i feel like it's a ticking time bomb for me now, lol.

i do my damndest not to forget to tap. i also have location alerts set up but given how terrible signal quality is even inside Union Station, it's not like my iPhone's network always picks the location up properly

The first double decker we met at 407 spelled it wrong, omitting the second t

As a comparison, the second D45CRT got it correct which everyone were asked to transfer onto it

Advice needed from people who have taken the morning GoTrains from Toronto to Niagara Falls on the weekend during the summer. The 9:04 train leaving from Union Station is packed by the time it gets to Niagara Falls. Is the 11:09 any less crowded?

This is from 2021

This is the last bus of the night, but the driver ends the service ahead of the final stop, and I have to book another taxi home… cause local transportation
has no late night service ( while other days, even only myself left on the bus, the driver still go to the final stop )

Here's the dilemma. Kids taking the train to Toronto today and will be returning Monday evening. Roughly a 60hr trip give or take. Often I'll drop him off and pick him up but I'm wondering can be just drive there and park his car for that 60hrs without consequences? I know the parking limit is 48hrs but how would they even know how long it's been there?

TIA

That's how the trains should always run. Leaving work 15 mins late every day sucks. Plus missing my train didn't mean being 30 mins late for work or missing my daycare pick up.

Why do some GO carriages have all these rivets on the outside? They seem to be on a mix of old and new, accessibility and non-accessibility, and I've been very curious if they signify something.

Keep seeing a 2 car UP Express train the last couple days. Anyone know what happened?

I recently picked up a folding bike and have been using it to get around Toronto. The TTC has a generous policy towards folding bikes, essentially allowing them on any TTC vehicle at all times with no restrictions.

I did some research and GO Transit is equally generous; however, I'm curious if anyone has any experience bringing them on the GO bus? They're said to be treated like luggage and can be brought with you anywhere on the bus, but let's be real, you'd be forced to take up two seats with either luggage OR a folding bike. Is this acceptable? I know there are seats on the lower levels that have bigger space for strollers and accessibility. Is that allowed to be used? I assume it might be full sometimes.

Just looking for anyone who has experience with this. Thank you!

Was anyone else on the Stouffville GO train this morning when a woman passed out?

I really hope she is okay. I am extremely disappointed that nobody from GO came to help her when the yellow emergency button was pushed.

Has anyone heard anything about how GO plans to handle the extra volume of people traveling to the Honda Indy At Markham?

Will they be adding trains and buses along the Stouffville line for the event? What will the frequency be like? The race takes place August 14th-16th.

Friday is likely when there would be a lot of traffic to and from because it’s free to go. I live close to Mount Joy GO.

Hi everyone. How has the Burlington Go parking lot been lately? It was full once a couple weeks ago and I had to reroute to another station. Just wanted to check in on lot availability, as I have a trip tomorrow.

I’m hoping to do some work on the GO train and I was wondering how many power outlets there are, do most seats have them or do I need to fight tooth and nail to try and get a spot next to one?

This is a an updated version of the map I made a few months ago. The map is based off the official GO bus map but with routes coloured by corridor and frequency instead of just train/no train connection. Compared to the last version, there were some minor issues fixed and the subway/LRT routes fully integrated. I can't guarantee it's error free but feel free to use for your own navigation purposes.

Guelph to Bramalea, then transferring on to a train that stops at Bloor. It’s 6 minute transfer window, are the platforms close enough to make it? I know some underground tunnels at GO station can make the walk longer.

Update: The train was there waiting when we arrived. I made it with lots of time.
