Current Route 94 schedule status
Last reviewed: September 7, 2026. GO Transit published network bus schedule changes starting September 5, 2026, and the PDF schedule listing shows Route 94 Pickering/Mississauga as a current schedule around that change period.

Route 94 map explained: Pickering to Square One via Pearson Airport
Route 94 is not a short local city bus. It is a regional GO Bus route that crosses several major travel zones: Durham/Pickering, Scarborough, North York, Toronto Pearson Airport, Mississauga Transitway and Square One. That is why the fare is distance-based and why trip time can change heavily with Highway 401 traffic.
Major Route 94 stops and direction guide
The official GO Transit airport page lists Route 94 as a Pearson Airport bus route serving Square One, Dixie Transitway, Renforth Transitway, Keele Street at Highway 401, Yorkdale, Yonge Street at Poyntz Avenue, Scarborough Centre and Pickering GO. The schedule/timepoint view may also include direction-specific local stops in the Pickering section, such as Kingston Road and Liverpool Road stops. Always confirm your exact stop in GO’s Trip Planner or Find a Station or Stop page.
| Direction | Use this destination sign | Major stops in travel order | Best rider check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Westbound | 94 – Square One | Pickering GO → Kingston Road / Fairport area → Scarborough Centre → Yonge / Poyntz → Yorkdale → Keele / Hwy 401 → Pearson Airport Terminal 1 → Renforth → Dixie → Square One | Confirm whether your stop is a scheduled timepoint or an intermediate stop before walking to the platform. |
| Eastbound | 94 – Pickering GO | Square One → Dixie → Renforth → Pearson Airport Terminal 1 → Keele / Hwy 401 → Yorkdale → Yonge / Poyntz → Scarborough Centre → Kingston Road / Pickering stops → Pickering GO | At Pearson, confirm Terminal 1 GO bus boarding area and check live departure boards before going outside. |
How often does the 94 GO bus run?
Route 94 generally has all-day service and late-night/overnight trips, but it is not a simple “same every 10 minutes” route. On many parts of the day, riders should expect an approximately hourly pattern, with additional trips or wider gaps depending on direction, service day and traffic conditions. Always check your exact travel date because GO’s weekday, Saturday, Sunday and holiday schedules can differ.
| Question | Practical Route 94 answer | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| First bus | There are early-morning and overnight trips, but “first bus” depends on your direction and stop. | Use GO Trip Planner with your exact stop, date and direction. |
| Last bus | Route 94 includes late-night trips; calendar-day rollover can make “last bus” confusing. | Check both before-midnight and after-midnight departures for your travel date. |
| End-to-end ride time | Plan roughly 1 hour 20 minutes to 2 hours 20 minutes end to end, depending on direction, traffic and time of day. | Use live arrival and Trip Planner because Highway 401 congestion can change the actual ride. |
| How early to arrive | Arrive 10 minutes early at normal stops, and 15–20 minutes early at Pearson, Yorkdale or Square One if you are unfamiliar with the terminal. | Check alerts before leaving, especially for temporary stop moves. |
How much is the GO Transit Route 94 fare?
Route 94 does not use one universal flat ticket price for every rider. GO Transit fares are based on your fare type and the distance between your origin and destination. That means Pickering GO to Pearson, Pearson to Square One, Scarborough Centre to Yorkdale and Pickering GO to Square One can price differently. Use the official GO fare calculator or Trip Planner for your exact ticket price.
Example: Pickering GO, Pearson Terminal 1, Scarborough Centre or Square One.
The farther you ride, the more the GO fare may change.
Adult, senior, youth, post-secondary, child or special pass.
Trip Planner / fare calculator controls the current payable fare.
How to pay on Route 94
GO Transit accepts several payment methods. The easiest options for most Route 94 riders are PRESTO card, PRESTO in a mobile wallet, contactless credit/debit tap, GO e-ticket, pass, or paper ticket where available. At Pearson Terminal 1, GO ticket purchase/loading options are available through online tickets and vending machines.
| Payment method | How it works | Route 94 tip |

| Credit/debit contactless | Tap the same card or same mobile wallet device on and off. | Do not mix card and phone for the same trip, or the system may not match the tap. |
| GO e-ticket | Buy online, activate on your smartphone and show it when requested. | Screenshots or printouts may not be accepted for GO e-tickets; follow GO’s e-ticket rules. |
| Paper ticket | Buy where GO ticket vending machines or ticket facilities are available. | Useful at Pearson or major terminals if you do not use PRESTO/contactless. |
Taking Route 94 to or from Pearson Airport
For Pearson Airport, GO Transit Route 94 serves Terminal 1. Toronto Pearson lists GO buses as departing from Terminal 1, Ground Level, Columns Q2 to Q4. If you land at Terminal 3, allow time to move to Terminal 1 before your scheduled bus. If you are going to the airport, allow extra time because traffic on Highway 401 and terminal walking time can affect your real arrival.
Pearson Terminal 1 GO bus boarding
Look for the GO bus area on the Ground Level. Confirm the route sign says 94 – Pickering GO or 94 – Square One before boarding.
- For flights, plan a buffer beyond the scheduled bus time.
- Check live bus status before leaving the terminal or hotel.
- Use Terminal 1 Ground Level, not a random arrivals curb.
- Verify whether you need Route 94, Route 40, UP Express, TTC or MiWay.
How to check live Route 94 arrivals
A printed schedule tells you the planned time. A live tracker tells you what may be happening now. GO Transit’s Where’s My Bus service lets riders use a stop ID to get real-time arrival information by text or phone, and GO’s Trip Planner can show schedule options, fares and trip details. At major terminals, also check digital signs.

- Recheck a few minutes before leaving because live predictions can change with traffic, detours and cancellations.
When should you leave for Route 94?
For everyday commuting, arrive at the stop about 10 minutes before the posted time. For airport trips, arrive at the GO bus area 15–20 minutes before if you are unfamiliar with the terminal or carrying bags. For critical appointments or flights, build in one extra bus or a larger buffer because Route 94 can be affected by Highway 401 traffic and terminal congestion.
Choose Square One or Pickering GO.
Do not rely on route number alone.
Fare changes by origin and destination.
Use Where’s My Bus or Trip Planner.
Allow terminal and platform walking time.
Route 94 service alerts: what to check before riding
Service alerts matter on Route 94 because stops can temporarily move, terminal bays can change, traffic incidents can delay buses and construction can affect transitway or curbside stops. Do not assume the bus is operating normally just because the PDF opens.
Open GO Service Updates and set up On the GO Alerts for real-time schedule changes, construction updates and service notifications customized to your commute.
Accessibility on GO Bus Route 94
GO Transit states that all GO bus routes are accessible for people using wheeled mobility aids, but not every bus stop is accessible. For Route 94, this means you should check your specific boarding and alighting stop, especially if using an intermediate road stop rather than a major terminal.
Route 94 mistakes riders should avoid
| Mistake | Why it matters | Better action |
|---|---|---|
| Searching only “94 bus” | Many cities have a Route 94; even within the GTA, apps may show different agencies. | Search GO Transit 94 Pickering / Square One. |
| Not checking direction | The same stop area can have buses in opposite directions. | Look for 94 – Square One or 94 – Pickering GO. |
| Assuming one fixed fare | GO fares are based on trip distance and fare type. | Use the fare calculator for your exact origin and destination. |
| Arriving at Pearson too late | Terminal walking, elevator/escalator time and bus-bay finding can take longer than expected. | Reach Terminal 1 Ground Level Columns Q2–Q4 early. |
| Trusting an old PDF screenshot | GO updates schedules and warns PDFs may not always be the newest view. | Use the Trip Planner for your travel date. |
