Most of The late afternoon and evening departures out of Toronto for Ottawa do just that. They cater to commuters and make all the stops between Toronto and Kingston. 54, 48 and 650 stop everywhere. 46 and 68 stop at the largest towns like Cobourg and Belleville. 300 ppl board at Union and only around 100-150 get off in Ottawa.
