UP Express fare increase for airport employees

Please be advised that effective January 29, 2024, Metrolinx will increase their UP Express one-way trip fare from Union Station to Toronto Pearson Airport for employees enrolled in the Airport Employee Program. The fare for Union to Pearson trips will increase to $7.41. The 40% savings will remain the same for Bloor-Pearson and Weston-Pearson one-way trips for airport employees. 

Alternatively, Toronto Pearson Airport employees participating in the program can purchase a weekly pass for $59.28. The weekly pass is valid for unlimited travel across the entire UP Express line for seven days from the day the ticket is activated. 

The new fares will be as follows:
