Connecting between GO and TTC?  

Save with One Fare. One Fare applies when you pay your fare with a physical PRESTO card, PRESTO in Mobile Wallet, or with a contactless credit or debit card. It does not apply for cash fare or ticket products. You must use the same card throughout your entire trip.  

What type of construction work is happening?  

This construction is necessary as we make progress to deliver the East Harbour Transit Hub. This will be a vital connection for customers transferring between the Ontario Line and GO train services. With a shared concourse providing easy access to all the rail services that will serve East Harbour, more customers will be able to transfer from the GO train to the subway network to get to more places. This important connection between the subway network and GO rail services will also help relieve crowding at Union Station by up to 14 per cent – or 14,000 people - during the busiest travel hour. Visit Ontario Line’s East Harbour station for more information. We are also continuing to increase track capacity by making sufficient space for a fourth track, improve operational flexibility for Metrolinx trains and reduce the long-term maintenance costs of the Birchmount bridge structure.
