BURLINGTON, ON
The Blue Jays season will start on Friday night, April 8, at the Rogers Centre.
Metrolinx advises that both GO Transit and UP Express recently added more service. Though fans planning to take the Lakeshore West line to Sunday’s game (April 10) should be aware of construction that will limit train service. Metrolinx News has the latest guidance for getting to the game.

Improvements, which have been in place since Saturday, include 30-minute service or better – evenings and weekends too – on the Lakeshore West and Lakeshore
Going UP from Union Station
Additional UP Express trips have riders prepared for extra innings, with the last westbound trip of the night now departing Union Station at 11p.m. Departure times have changed, so riders should check the UP website for the latest schedule information.
Two Lakeshore West trains each way for Sunday’s game
While train service is generally increasing on Lakeshore West, construction on Sunday, April 10 will result in GO buses replacing most trains.
Two trips in each direction will be provided for Jays fans and others headed towards downtown Toronto on Sunday around game time.
Trains headed for Union Station will leave from West Harbour at 10:13 a.m. and Aldershot at 10:55 a.m. – making all stops in between – arriving at 11:30 a.m. and noon respectively.
Afterwards, trains will depart Union Station at 4:45 p.m. and 5:15 p.m., reaching West Harbour at 6:03 p.m. and 6:33 p.m. (again, making all stops).

Lakeshore West customers planning to travel on Sunday at other times can find information about replacement buses here.
For those who haven’t been on GO Transit for a while, here are a few quick updates:
A weekend day pass for unlimited travel is available for only $10. The weekend pass is just $5 more.
At Union Station, the revitalized Bay Concourse offers more eating and retail options.
The new Union Station Bus Terminal is open, just south of the old terminal.
You will see seat belts on the newest GO buses. Please buckle up when seat belts are available – it’s the law.
