What is Regional Express Rail mean?
Regional Express Rail (RER), also known as GO Expansion, is a project to improve GO Transit train service by adding all-day, two-way service to the Barrie line and the inner portions of the Kitchener line and the Stouffville line, and by increasing frequency of train service on various lines to every 15 minutes or better on five of the corridors. The Stouffville and Kitchener Lines will be as frequent as every 7.5 minutes in the inner portions of each line. This would be achieved with the full electrification of the Lakeshore East line, Stouffville line and the Barrie line and the electrification of the inner portions of the Lakeshore West line and the Kitchener line. RER is one of the Big Move rapid transit projects.
With RER, GO Transit will increase the number of train trips per week from 1,500 (as of 2015) to about 2,200 by 2020 and expanding to 6,000 weekly trips upon completion. Most of the extra trips will be in the off-peak hours and on weekends. The expanded services, new infrastructure and electrification is projected to roll out in phases between 2025 and 2030. The 10-year regional express rail plan will cost $13.5 billion, and will require 150 kilometres (93 mi) of new track including new bridges and tunnels.
