After years of construction work, it finally looks like commuter users can the use long-awaited Kipling GO Station.
The new station is opening on January 4, 2021 and will connect MiWay bus service to Kipling GO Station, says the area’s MPP.
“This is part of Ontario’s larger project to transform Kipling GO Station into a major transit hub, providing people with a more seamless transit experience,” said Christine Hogarth, who represents Etobicoke Lakeshore.
“We are one step closer to fully opening the Kipling Transit Hub, an entirely connected transit experience that will support commuters here in Etobicoke,” Hogarth said in a release on December 14.
She said MiWay buses are temporarily using the Islington TTC subway station during the construction at Kipling GO Station.
With the completion of the new bus terminal, MiWay customers can access Kipling stations’ new bus terminal.
“Transforming Kipling Station into a single integrated mobility hub means people will spend less time commuting and have more time for the things that matter,” said Caroline Mulroney, Minister of Transportation.
Phil Verster, CEO of Metrolinx, said “our riders will have one convenient location to transfer between GO rail, GO bus in the new year, and MiWay bus service, along with access to the TTC subway and bus.”
“I am thrilled the province is committed to building a reliable, regionally-connected transit system that will improve the commuter experience for residents of Mississauga,” said Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie.
This new Kipling bus terminal will offer thousands of MiWay customers access to a modern facility and “I look forward to the official opening of the completed transit hub.”
Ontario is committed to enhancing transportation in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, investing in transportation infrastructure and providing two-way, all-day service on core segments of the GO rail network.
“Supporting enhanced transit infrastructure is part of the government’s plan to drive the economy and support families, businesses and communities,” she said.
