I disagree. I frequently take GO because it's FASTER than MT/TTC.
This whole idea that riders don't care about speed has got to die, because it's completely untrue.
Of course if frequency is really poor, speed might not matter as much, but all things being equal, everyone will choose the faster option.
The idea that all riders care about speed needs to die. We're not talking about GO(regional) vs. MT/TTC (local).
By your logic, brampton residents would use GO to travel from downtown brampton to Bramalea City Centre instead of taking Brampton Transit because GO will be faster. Your logic is faulty. You're just looking at transit in a regional context. Of COURSE you would take GO to Union (I assume that's where you're going). I doubt you're going to use GO within Mississauga.
Enough with the speed obsession. Speed is a just one factor in a rider's overall trip. Widely spaced stops are not guaranteed to attract riders.
