Metrolinx is cutting GO Transit service as ridership continues to plummet.

The province's stay at home order is having an impact on GO with ridership reportedly down by more than 90 percent

Starting this weekend, buses will replace trains along three lines to Barrie, Stouffville and Kitchener on weekday evenings and weekends

Cuts are also being made to the UP Express line that runs between Pearson and Union Station.

GO Train service between Niagara and Toronto was suspended in March but GO buses continue to run.
