TORONTO — Metrolinx says protests have affected bus service at three Toronto-area GO Transit hubs this morning, including Toronto’s busy Union Station.
The agency that operates GO Transit says demonstrators gathered around 7:20 a.m. today and restricted access to the Union Station bus terminal.
Spokeswoman Fannie Sunshine says the protesters have since left, but the modified service — which includes alternate boarding locations and connecting bus routes to train lines — remain in place for the time being.

Metrolinx says it continues to monitor a strike by Union Station electrical workers employed by Toronto Terminal Railways, which has prompted recurring protests for more than a week.
Ninety-five workers with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers went on strike on April 20 and started on-and-off demonstrations in the days that followed.
The striking employees are signals and communication workers as well as train movement directors, and have been without a contract since December 2019.
