More than 2,200 GO bus operators, station attendants, maintenance workers and other staff walked off the job on Monday, prompting the cancellation of regional bus service across the Greater Golden Horseshoe.

The cancellation of GO bus service had caused headaches for thousands of commuters. GO trains continued to run and stations remained open.
