As part of the announcement, the government said that every second train on the express route will be non-stop between Union Station and Toronto Pearson International Airport.The UP Express runs every 15 minutes, which means that under the new service changes, residents at Weston and Bloor stations will only be able to access the line every 30 minutes.

City Councillor for Davenport, Alejandra Bravo, said on social media that one in four airport workers rely on public transportation to get to their place of employment. Expanding the number of trains along the Kitchener Line will also allow more people to utilize the province's One Fare program, which allows for free transfers between the TTC and GO Transit lines, making it a more affordable option for some people.Toronto police monitoring rail line protestFrom housing initiatives to a disability benefit, how the federal budget impacts youBudget 2024 prioritizes housing while taxing highest earners, deficit projected at $39.
