Metrolinx hopes to strike a deal with GO Transit workers this Friday

The union representing striking GO Transit bus operators, station attendants and other employees are planning to return to the negotiating table on Friday.

Around 2,200 GO Transit workers have been on strike since Monday, resulting in GO buses not operating this week.

The Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1587 has agreed to resume bargaining on Friday with Metrolinx.

⚠️Due to an ongoing labour dispute, there is currently no GO bus service, but GO trains & UP Express continue to operate.

We encourage bus customers to plan other travel options, including taking GO train service, local transit, etc. Stay up to date: https://t.co/Y1SSNVgRS9 pic.twitter.com/CEHrle4Kx7

Metrolinx, the organization that operates GO Transit, hopes to get a deal done to get buses back on the road.

GO trains and UP Express services are not affected by the strike.

The strike shut down regional bus services across the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
