With the Games becoming close (July 10-25), here's an excellent suggestion few people know about:
Currently, a PanAm or ParaPanAm ticket acts as a de-facto daypass to all of GTHA's transit services.
This include the expensive GOtrains. Even if you go to work before a PanAm game!
There are many PanAm and ParaPanAm tickets that cost less than a day's of transit usage (e.g. Hamilton->Toronto GOtrain plus TTC). People have heard of free transit, but don't realize how valuable a PanAm ticket can be when used like a daypass.
The ticket allows you to use it like a daypass for work and other stuff during the daytime; as a measure to keep you off the road -- this is the goal to keep the roads unclogged during PanAm. You do not need to use the free transit only for your Game, but also for any GTHA transit for anything before and afterwards, on your ticket date, at least within the PanAm footprint. This is allowed. That makes it a bargain!
It is officially allowed & officially sanctioned. Example:
Have you?
What's your planned PanAm commute itinerary?

@mdrejhon Yes, a ticket will provide you with travel for the entire day - including your morning work commute. Pretty cool, right? ^SM
