This holiday season, Metrolinx, in partnership with Forty Creek Whisky, is offering complimentary service on GO Transit and UP Express.

On New Year’s Eve, Jan. 1, 2025, both GO Transit and UP Express services will be free to all customers from 7 p.m. to 8 a.m.

Further, GO Transit will run very late to help customers who are travelling downtown and returning home.

• Lakeshore East and West Lines: There will be additional trips arriving and departing regularly at Union Station throughout December 31.
• Milton Line: There will be additional late-night trips departing Union Station on December 31, with the last train departing Union Station at 2:55 a.m.
• Barrie Line: There will be additional late-night trips departing Union Station on December 31, with the last train leaving Union Station at 3:54 a.m.
• Stouffville Line: There will be additional late-night trips departing Union Station on December 31, with the last train leaving Union Station at 4:12 a.m.
• Richmond Hill Line: The 6:45 p.m. train departing Union Station will be cancelled and replaced with a later train departing Union Station at 1:15 a.m., making all stops before arriving at Bloomington GO at 2:21 a.m.

Interestingly, Metrolinx wants you to continue tapping on and off with their Presto cards, but you won’t be charged, and you’ll see $0 on the display.

For Christmas and Boxing Day, there will be some changes as well.

Some trips have been adjusted on December 24 to get you home sooner:

• Milton Line: The 4:10 p.m. train departing Union Station will be adjusted and depart Union station earlier at 1:40 p.m., arriving at Milton GO at 2:40 p.m. The 4:40 p.m. train departing Union Station will be adjusted and depart Union station earlier at 2:40 p.m. arriving at Milton GO at 3:40 p.m.
