Ontario has officially opened its 66th GO Transit station at Downsview Park, which provides a direct connection to the new TTC Line 1 metro extension to York Region. A total of 230 weekly GO train trips serve the new Downsview Park GO Station on the Barrie GO line, including hourly weekend service and two-way, all-day, weekday service between Union Station and Aurora GO Station.
The new Downsview Park station provides commuters with a direct transfer between all-day train service on the Barrie GO line and the new TTC Line 1 metro extension, and is the first station to provide both GO and TTC service in the same facility. Last month, Ontario celebrated the largest expansion of Toronto’s metro system in nearly 40 years, with the opening of the new TTC Line 1 extension into York region.
Since 2013, Ontario has built four new GO stations, renovated 10 existing GO stations, and added approximately 7,000 new GO station parking spots.
