Before you go

Crowds, fares, timing

What visitors need to know first

Toronto Stadium is located at Exhibition Place. For regional visitors, Exhibition GO is the key station because it sits beside the stadium precinct and connects through Union Station.

Rail Six is useful on match day because it shows live GO departures, platform or bay information when published, and fare pages for station-to-station trips.

How fares work

GO Transit fares are distance-based. Visitors can pay with PRESTO or tap a contactless credit or debit card, then tap off at the destination.

Families should check official GO fare rules before travelling because child, student, senior, day-pass, and group options can change by rider type and date.

Crowds and late-night trips

Expect crowding at Union Station and Exhibition GO before and after Toronto matches. Give yourself more time than a normal commute, especially for evening matches.

Platform assignments and special-event queues may change quickly. Check the live board before moving to a platform, then follow station staff and event wayfinding.
