This sounds like good news for GO transit. I had already expected the average trip distance to increase as a result of people accepting further housing locations if they only head in to the office a couple days per week. So although the number of downtown commuting trips may decrease, the lengths of those trips would increase.
But if companies also consolidate offices downtown and have twice as many employees commuting half as often, the total number of trips may actually remain relatively unaffected. Producing a vast increase in passenger-km to/from downtown, which is good for GO given that ticket prices increase with distance.
