Metrolinx is supporting the life you lead by bringing you all-day, two-way GO train service that fits your schedule. Whether you’re in Toronto, York Region or Simcoe County, life can be busy. You’ve got a lot on your plate, and you’re looking for balance – you’re looking for easier ways to seamlessly get where you need to go. That’s what the Barrie line GO Expansion will offer. From Lake Simcoe to Lake Ontario and everywhere in between, we’ve got you covered.

GO service is expanding to serve you better, with more frequent service, more stations, and more connections. Metrolinx is transforming GO Transit to bring more frequent two-way, all-day service to the Barrie line, seven days a week.

To keep these plans on track, we sometimes work overnight and on weekends, building and updating rail infrastructure, renovating GO stations, building new train platforms and more. Learn more about GO Expansion.

We aim to provide you with plenty of notice when we need to adjust service for construction activity. Please plan your trip in advance.

Work may be adjusted, rescheduled, or extended due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances.

How to pay for your trip

If you are travelling with a PRESTO, credit or Interac debit card:

To ensure you are charged the correct fare, please tap your PRESTO, credit or Interac debit card at every point of your journey:

• Before boarding a train, tap on at the station.
• When exiting the train, tap off at your destination station, unless your card already has a default trip set for that journey.
• If you are transferring to a bus, tap on when you board and tap off when you exit.

This helps ensure your fare is calculated accurately throughout your trip.

If you’re travelling with an e- ticket:

• Ensure you have activated your ticket before boarding your train or bus.
• Data is required for purchasing and activating your e-ticket.
• Please note: GO e-tickets are not eligible for Ontario’s One Fare.

If you are travelling with a paper ticket:

• Keep your ticket available for inspection on trains and when boarding buses.
• Some local transit agencies will accept GO Transit tickets as a transfer, within a two-hour travel window. Learn more about these local transit partners and the One Fare program.
