The product

One calm place for the whole GO network.

Every screen is designed to answer the question in front of you—where to go, when to leave, and what platform to use.

Routes · GO train & bus

Plan the fastest way through the region.

Search a line, bus number, station, or stop. The route board combines rail and bus options, shows transfers, accessibility, and the next departure without making you decode a timetable.

  • Train, bus, or mixed journeys in one search
  • Live countdowns, stops, duration, and service status
  • Platform and gate details when available

The map puts every GO rail line, interchange, station, and route into one legible view. The live route sheet stays on top, so planning never feels disconnected from the network around you.

  • Full GO network with line colors and station labels
  • Route search stays available over the map
  • Adaptive light and dark appearance

  • Upcoming Union departures and arrivals
  • Platform chips surfaced right in the list
  • Works beautifully in light and dark mode
