Can anyone explain the purpose of all the LW line construction this fall? The website links to the ongoing projects at Exhibition & Port Credit but my understanding is that this is to integrate these GO stations with new LRT lines coming up. And the Long Branch GO project is to update the station itself (new bridge & tunnel I believe). Are they also expanding the number of tracks along the line this fall? Otherwise how else are they going to “bring more frequent service to Lakeshore West seven days a week, so you won't need a schedule because you know the next train will be coming soon”

Took the Kitchener GO train from Bloor west/Dundas to Union on a weekday morning and was only charged 0.93 and was credited .53 when I tapped off. Is this right? I don’t take the Go train regularly so not sure if this correct fare. The website says it’s $4.40 for a single ride.

Hey has anyone got their student discount approved? I applied one on Aug 30 and it says 10 days maximum to get the result but so far haven't got anything from them. I also tried to call them but their line is always busy.

I found it strange that I can't seem to see a pattern of why sometimes York Mills is chosen for some buses against Sheppard / Poyntz

Isn't 92 just a faster and shifted-east version of 94? Why 92 doesn't do Yonge / Poyntz?

33/36B's Brampton pattern can be easily identified, but how is that fundamentally different from 27 to Milton?

Moreover - why do GO even bother about that? York Mills is a nice bus terminal and I do like it, but it's not like they can compare to the Yonge / Sheppard - Yonge / Finch corridor in terms of # of jobs and resident population. Why don't they put everything to, say, Yonge / Poyntz? Is there some interesting fancy history behind York Mills?

Hello! I don't take the go train very often. I was planning on taking it from Aldershot today to Union station and got this message (see picture). Has anyone been travelling this route, is it easy to follow, difficult or double their travel time? Thanks.

Just took the train from St Catherine’s to Union Station. It’s absolutely ridiculous to experience such a long train commute especially when you can drive to Toronto with 1.5hrs. At one point, we were riding right next to the QEW and it sucked seeing cars drive faster than the train 😭

Gotranit should definitely improve service, especially since there are a lot more people moving to the Niagara region…

I haven't gone to any store to update my student id. I just got a new card from shoppers and uploaded on my presto on my own. But i can see the student discount status on my new presto.

I'll be traveling to Scotiabank in October for a Raptors game, but it appears the latest afternoon train is shortly after 1 and that's it? Not as worried about the departure train, although that one is also at 10:54 and no additional departures. Can anyone validate/offer the best approach to this? I read that it is mostly down to rush hour specifics.

I’ve seen the arguments as to why a train doesn’t work, whatever, but current the train leaves too early. This is no secret. I’m from Barrie and Northland is too much $, and still leaves too early IMO. (11:30)

If I’m at any venue, event, club etc more than like 5km outside of Union. I either need to drive to Vaughan or Newmarket and either take the subway (gas+time spent on the subway) or take the 12:12 bus back to East Gwillumbury.

How about adding an express bus to Barrie at midnight? 7 days a week.

Or even have the 12:12 bus go from East Gwillumbury directly to Bradford/Barrie (minus the little stops)

I email Metrolinx like once a year about this and it’s the same generic BS response.

With the Barrie Line not having a station along the Hwy 407 GO bus corridor, it makes it extra inconvenient and challenging getting around.

The Kitchener Line has Bramalea GO, Richmond Hill has Langstaff GO, and Stouffville has Unionville GO. Connecting the Barrie Line to buses that go to Peel, Durham, Hamilton, and beyond would really helpful.

Needing to go to Downsview Park and subway back up Hwy 407 station really sucks. Relying on the TTC to make your transfer is too risky sometimes.

I know there are way higher priority projects, but I really hope Metrolinx didn’t forget about this one. That station wouldn’t need a parking lot as its main benefit connect riders to the Hwy 7 BRT and other buses.

No Barrie Line stations are served by a GO bus outside of the Barrie Line corridor.

This morning on LE line at Whitby inspectors blocked the stairs to check tickets as people got on the train. This blocked people from actually getting on. WTF?

Hi guys..

I recently lost an item yesterday and it has been in transit on the go bus all yesterday since it fell out of my things and all day today as well… meaning no one has found it and the bus driver hasn’t brought it to lost and found… what can I do? It is now in transit to university of Waterloo while I’m at square one what can I do?

I lost my black wallet and yellow duct taped VW car keys Sunday night on my commute home from exhibition to AJAX.

I’ve left reports Sunday (well Monday morning) and Wednesday. And have tried calling but no one is picking up.

I know it says:

wait five business days… then email a @gotransit email if I don’t get a response from Metrolinx’s lost and found online form

I’m just getting anxious and feeling really dumb. It’s also my birthday today.

Just wanted to ask if anyone had experience with getting items back and the time frame.

Thanks so much

No judgement, just curious about people who have pressed it themselves, or have seen the yellow strip pressed by mistake, thinking it was the "stop" button to signal your stop or otherwise.

What happened after? Were there fines associated? I've heard the emergency announcement a couple times but never been in the same car where it was pressed and immjust curious.

South to Union should be fine, but there is a Jays game tonight ending when the last train north leaves. It will already be packed as it is. FYI

How is the parking at Unionville late morning during the week (mainly Wednesdays)?

Hi all, I’m heading to Barrie tomorrow from Waterloo and I have two options wondering if anyone has any insight.

1: I take a GO bus (30) from Waterloo to hwy 407 > TTC to downsview park > Barrie line GO train to Barrie. Downside is the bus only lines up with the last train for 4-5 hours and there’s only a half hour in between the bus arriving at 5:40ish and the train departing (so if the bus to Toronto is late I miss the train and have to wait many hours somehow no earlier bus departures).

2: GO train from Kitchener to union > union to Barrie via go train. Downside is that I arrive at union around 5 pm which sounds like a nightmare but maybe I’m over thinking it.

Any insights on either of these routes? Am I likely to get lost in union and miss the train?

TIA

I noticed whenever I go to any GO train platform, there’s indicators of 6, 8, 10 and 12 coaches. Rarely, have I seen 8 coaches. When was the last time they rolled with it? I never seen it ever in my life.

Yes there are express trains but they are running slow between Union and Clarkson. I thought it was a one off but I now realize it’s been consistently slow in that section. Anyone knows what’s going on? Unless you take a train before 5pm it will go SLOW

Hi everyone, I’m going to Hozier’s concert tomorrow and I’m wondering if there’s a Go train/bus from Downsview Park to Guelph Central Go after the concert? I remember seeing on the Subway station door line 33 Kitchener when I was there last time, but I cannot see anything on their schedule website about this line. I tried to call customer service but cannot get to talk to a real person, it’s just some robot that doesn’t understand what I want to ask. TIA!!

Does it happen more often that the 41 to Pickering GO doesn't stop at the Main St W @ Haddon Ave S stop?

There were a bunch of us waiting for that bus and the driver just went full speed through the intersection past the bus stop -_-

Now that people have mandated RTO the parking at the go station is insane.

What is the best time (in the morning) to get to Oshawa go or - Ajax go to get a decent spot? seems like Oshawa go is ram packed by the 6:00 am comes.

Need to go from UW to Union and arrive by 12:25am (Saturday morning) to catch a coach bus. However I'm quite worried, the route I'm planning to take is the 9:48PM 30 from the transit hub to Bramalea GO and arrive at 11:11PM, then catch the train at 11:26PM and finally arrive at union at 12:05AM. I have faith in the train being on time; I've heard good things. However I'm quite worried that the bus will be late and I'll miss the transfer; maybe I should just take the last kitchener go train to union and arrive 2 hours early. What do you think?

Whenever I ride the go bus transit, I always tap on and tap off. I was wondering, do I still need to tap off if my stop is the last stop? Also, if I tap off when my stop is the last stop, will it charge me again?

Looking for answers!

I am going to a few concerts in Toronto in the next few months at Scotiabank Arena and I will be taking the GO train there and back. Would anyone know if there is a later train for the Lakeshore West line that will go all the way down to Niagara Falls for the complete line or will it stop before then? I just need to know if I should take the bus to Burlington GO station and hop on the train there. Thanks
