Review of route elimination There is a lot of elimination (leaving out school related)... Milton: - Weekday southbound bus trips departing from Milton to Oakville will no longer be operating: 5:45 a.m., 8:40 p.m. and 10:40 p.m. - Weekday northbound bus trips departing Oakville to Milton...

GO Transit shows the old and new price for Student Monthly passes on their fare calculator. Check out www.gotransit.com. The average fare increase for adults is 4.5%, while the fare increases for students from Brampton are going up 8%, Milton up 9%, and Mississauga 5.5%. Here's what GO...

NOTE TO STUDENTS!!!!! When you compare 2009 to 2010 for student fares, the increase is much higher than the adult ticket increases. For instance a student travelling to York U/Sheridan/Union from the following would experience the respective increase of: Aurora – 6.5%/10.9%/8.6%...

Yes, for heated track switches. Why am I not surprised on the fuel rates, lol. I still don't have a sense how the province is expecting to get more riders when they're jacking up the prices all the time, especially when they want to expand. More riders = higher fares. Who wants that? - Andrew

I brought up with Metrolinx Chairman Rob MacIssac that lines like Niagara and new routes should be subsidized differently. The new and expanded routes should be "investment" routes and more subsidy is needed, however, these new and expanded lines should not be impacting the price of existing and...

Very good question. I would love to know what is costing GO Transit the most money on an itemized list, i.e. Union Station operating cost, Rail costs for each line, cost to run each train, energy agreements, head office costs, project lists (costs, timeline, net benefit), route revenue and costs...

I respectfully disagree, because you assume the transit system is operating as efficiently as possible. I bet you they're not. In comparison to other transit systems, you'll be assuming they're operating as efficiently as possible too. Here's a simple example. I'm hungry and need to eat. So I...

But remember GO stated the cost of parking is already factored into the fare? It would be Canadian to say you now have to pay again for something you already pay for. At yesterday's Metrolinx Board meeting, there was no indication of "ANY" cuts or operational efficiencies that could be made...

Remember, GO riders are paying $200+ per month, with some riders paying $250 to $300 per month. In addition, there's the TTC cost, add another $122/mth. So your looking at $400/mth. That is $4800/yr, never mind the capital cost paid for by your tax dollars for trains, buildings, parking, etc...

It's official - fares go up 5% on March 20th. http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/article/768451--go-transit-fares-rising-along-with-service Petition Queen's Park here: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/reject_go_fare_hike_2010/

GO Transit Raises Fares 5% Again in 2010, Petition Against the Increase GO Transit has done it again. They are increasing your monthly pass rate by 5% again this year, on top of the 5% increase last year. That is a 10% increase in just 2 years, while annual inflation is 1.2% as of December...

Buy a weekly permit $15 for a side street that has overnight parking available.

The Milton corridor is a crap design anyways. It needs to be straighter to get higher speeds. Just imagine ... being able to whip past Streetsville at 135km/hr. Right now the bend at Streetsville feels like you're going to tip over if you're sitting inside the curve at the lower level of the...

Yes the capital costs is borne by all taxpayers, but on a ridership basis costs analysis basis, you have to include it. If transit didn't exist, then $605M wouldn't be put on the taxpayer. 1) Car owners pay for their own cars. They pay for their own gas. Taxpayers don't pay for their...

A 500 trip portion of the $605M capital cost for GO translates into $6044.01 ($605M/50M*500 trips) compared to $3,461.54 for the car. Capital costs cover new infrastructure and maintaining existing infrastructure. Without it trains, bridges, rail, stations, yards, offices, computer systems...

You're correct I didn't include pricing for parking. *Cost Analysis for Car vs GO Transit from Cambridge to Downtown Toronto* Here's a cost analysis of a 50 week commute with only operating expenses (cost of car not included - but oil changes and licencing fees are, I included $170/mth...

It's about economics. Cambridge to Toronto: Toyota Yaris @ City Hwy Tank Fuel Type 8.1 6.7 42 Regular Distance: 202.7 km Fuel Used: 14 L Price of Gas: 96.1 cents/litre Cost/Roundtrip by car: $13.48 Gas cost/month (assuming 20 business days): $269.60 Now you can't consider...

That would never happen.Too many reasons to list.

Why don't we ban lousy politicans? I'm getting sick of this government and people trying to ban everything. Just give me my pills and straight jacket, now, please!
