Read an item last week that as of April 7, some additional train trips will occur between Oakville and Toronto on the Lakeshore West line.
OAKVILLE — GO Transit is adding new weekend morning and daily late-night train trips to its Lakeshore west and east lines starting April 7.That means there will be 52 new trips for commuters travelling between Oakville and Toronto on the Lakeshore West line and between Oshawa and Toronto on the Lakeshore East line, the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario says.
The UP Express will also have two new early-morning trips departing from Union Station at 4:55 a.m. and 5:10 a.m. to Pearson International Airport — for a total of 14 new trips per week — also starting on April 7.This thread is currently associated with: N/A2021-Bring on the sunshine, sweets & online shopping.

The new Union Station bus terminal is part of CIBC Square. Scotiabank Arena is across the way.

The online departure bus board! https://www.gotransit.com/en/trip-pl...haredLink=true
Think I remember this site as a parking lot 20+ years ago.
The Toronto-Niagara GO Train service begins this weekend. Note the local transit connection info as WEGO does not start operation until late July.

TTC Customers this week can use their debit or credit cards to pay for fares with their tap features. https://www.ttc.ca/riding-the-ttc/Up...or-credit-card
https://www.gotransit.com/en/blog/tap-with-credit-debit
GO Transit announced extra trains for the CNE on some lines! CNE opens on Friday. Advance ride passes/admission sales end on Thursday for the CNE.
Update*Aug 19-I found an opinion column on the TTC's open payment system that could help riders understand why fare discounts are not possible with credit or debit card payments.https://www.thestar.com/opinion/star...1288498ee.html
Also, how GO Transit is accommodating the increase of food delivery agents' bikes on their train lines:https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/the...868409bac.html
Basically there is a bus on one line for the agents to Kitchener; train cars will be available later next month. Right now, GO Transit only permits 2 bikes per train car.Last edited by Ciel21; Sat, Aug 19th, 2023 at 03:26 PM.

Reminder about the One Fare program for electronic payments/Presto card travellers beginning on Monday for Toronto and some GTA public transit agencies!
Also, there's a group of TTC workers with a strike mandate but I understand they are still in negotiations."This is the Way." The Mandalorian
