You are correct that someone who travels a short distance all within 905 would also see a steep increase. That doesn't seem fair to me either!

I guess GO Transit really dislikes short-distance riders?
In peak perhaps; virtually all my GO travel is off-peak. I'm yet to ever have to stand on a train, despite boarding well within Toronto. And yet I'm charged this premium rate for simply using empty space.If anything, pricing to Union should hold a premium and pricing to/from any pair of stations which do not go through Union should be reduced in price. A passenger travelling from Oshawa to Guildwood is pure profit.
got ya. it is unfair that someone who only goes to one zone has to pay 25 cents more. why not raise the fare a few cents per zone, rather than per trip? travel on GO transit within toronto should be competive with TTC fares.
On behalf of all of the 905ers, I would like to point out that KW is not part of the 905 and that collectively the 905 and 416 now seem to be subsidizing the 519ers.
It is against the law for any transit system to compete with the TTC within Toronto...
This is exactly why I have long maintainted tha the TTC an GO rail networks need to be merged into one operation and run on a fare by distance basis.
regarding fares? what if the prices were just slightly higher?
It would make more sense to merge the TTC with MT, BT, YRT, and DRT than to merge with GO Transit. Merger with GO transit is the least important thing.
