Metrolinx says the schedule change responds to ridership that has outpaced weekday recovery since the pandemic, with weekend trips up 34% year-over-year.
Metrolinx will add six additional weekend round trips on the Lakeshore East and West lines beginning in September, the agency announced Tuesday, citing weekend ridership growth that has outpaced the weekday commute recovery.
The change comes as GO Transit continues to position weekend and off-peak service as a growth area, rather than just a commuter-rail add-on.
Riders should expect the new schedule to appear in trip-planning apps by mid-August.
