Premier Doug Ford made the announcement on Friday and said the increased service would be a “huge boost” to the region.

The change will now see trains make two round trips each day on Saturday, Sunday and holiday Mondays starting Oct. 15., which provides unlimited travel on any one of those days. For an extra 5$, riders can get unlimited travel for the full weekend, including holidays.

Although the premier and a news release from the government both said the move would restore service to the region “365 days a year,” trips to the Falls are only available on weekends.following COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns and travel restrictions.That number dropped by two thirds at the height of the pandemic, according to Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati, who spoke with CTV News Toronto back in May of 2020.but came to a screeching halt following the onset of COVID-19.

Ford explained he had always planned to resume the service “as soon as possible” and said that Friday’s announcement makes good on that promise.

And you guys will vote for him again!!! Dnt complain

The same guy that was against this kind of idea as a Toronto city councillor.

Maybe he should fix the healthcare system before worrying about people's weekend trips to Niagara

Focusing on the things Ontarians don’t need. Classic Doug Ford. Completely tone deaf to the citizens of this province.

I just saw another news report on someone who got scammed. A lot of times the victim gets taken to the cleaners. Calls at times come from overseas. Not much police can do for you then.

I was reading a online news report where Omar Sachedina was mentioned. As many know he is the new ctv national news anchor. Will he have poor ratings as some suggest. I doubt it. It will probably be around the same as Lisa Laflamme's was.

Unnecessary. Fix the healthcare system

yelich_ivana EmmMacfarlane must be creating drivers the way he created nurses

More stations are needed and it should be all week. The QEW is full of casino buses and airport services.

Should be all week. Not just weekends. And does Dougie know where the train drops you off? In the sketchy part of NF!!

Don't think deeming disabled injured workers into poverty is a 'huge boost' for the local economy.

How about extending it to York Region first!
