Before you go

Crowds, fares, timing

Airport-to-stadium train plan

UP Express connects Pearson Airport with Union Station in downtown Toronto. From Union, transfer to GO Transit for the short Lakeshore West ride to Exhibition GO.

If you are arriving on match day, build in extra transfer time at Union and check the live GO board before leaving the UP Express area.

Paying for transit

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.

Late-night return

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.
