Alstom Extends Contract for GO Transit and UP Express Operations in Toronto

Alstom has renewed a substantial contract with Metrolinx to operate and maintain the GO Transit and UP Express fleets in Toronto. This extension further cements the partnership between Alstom and the provincial government agency in Ontario. Valued at approximately 800 million euros, the contract is set to continue until 2031, supporting nearly 1,300 direct jobs in the region.

Alstom’s team has been instrumental in achieving a 97% on-time performance for both GO Transit and UP Express, emphasizing reliability and quality service. The contract renewal highlights Alstom's leadership in rail services, maintaining their stronghold as a primary provider in North America.

The extension is also seen as a strategic move to bolster the GO Transit network’s reliability in light of increased service demands due to Ontario's expanding population. Alstom, with over 25 ongoing projects globally, continues to play a critical role in facilitating greater mobility solutions in Canada.
