Ontario Investing in GO Transit Bi-level Rail Coaches

  • As Ontario continues to grow, our government is investing in made-in-Ontario solutions to ensure our public transit network grows with it.
  • We’re investing nearly $500 million to upgrade 181 GO Transit bi-level rail coaches at the Alstom plant in Thunder Bay.
  • Refurbishing these rail coaches will extend their service life by 20 years, while injecting millions of dollars into creating and maintaining good jobs in northwestern Ontario.
  • Extending the service life of bi-level rail coaches supports our ambitious GO Expansion program, which aims to deliver two-way, all-day service to Oshawa, Burlington, Kitchener, Stouffville and Barrie.
  • In 2024, we announced the largest GO Transit service expansion in more than a decade, adding more than 300 weekly train trips to the GO network.
