Since January 1, 2026, Metrolinx began offering complimentary transit services to all veterans and Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members year-round on the UP Express.
Veterans and CAF members do not need to tap their PRESTO card. Simply present a valid form of ID to a fare inspector to access the service:
- A permanent Canadian Forces Identification Card (NDI 20)
- A Canadian Armed Forces Veteran Service Card (NDI 75)
- A Temporary National Defence Identification Card (NDI 10)
In March 2025, Metrolinx introduced free travel year-round to veterans and CAF members on all GO Transit services. Metrolinx is proud to expand this program in the transit network by extending this initiative to UP Express to further honour veterans and CAF members for their service.
