UP Express

Company History: Union Pearson Express
UP Express launched on June 6, 2015, on time and on budget. Connecting two major transportation hubs, UP Express provides reliable, predictable service between Union Station and Toronto Pearson in just 25 minutes, with trains departing every 15 minutes from early in the morning until late at night. As a key part of Metrolinx’s regional transportation plan for the GTHA, the line is a concrete demonstration of the progress we are making to relieve gridlock and get the region moving.

Successor/Parent History: Metrolinx, an agency of the Government of Ontario under the Metrolinx Act, 2006, was created to improve the coordination and integration of all modes of transportation in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. The organization’s mission is to champion, develop and implement an integrated transportation system for our region that enhances prosperity, sustainability and quality of life.
