GO trains are easily identifiable; they are double-decked, green and white, and the cars are shaped like elongated octagons. These Bombardier BiLevel carriages were originally designed for GO in the 1970s, and are now used by a number of other commuter railways across the continent. GO buses are not double-decked (although a BC Transit bus was used in an experiment during May 2002), but they are also characterized by a green and white colour scheme. Most GO buses are inter-city coaches (see directory below). For other uses, see Bombardier (disambiguation). ... A BiLevel coach in service with Torontos GO Transit. ...

Bombardier will continue to run trains with three-person crews, but their functions will change a bit. Traditionally, the conductor focuses on safe operation, but also does customer service. Bombardier will put two engineers on each train, each driving in just one direction. When not driving, the spare engineer will handle operations.

There is off-peak train service on parts of the Lakeshore and Georgetown lines. Hourly trains operate on weekdays between Aldershot, with weekend service between Oshawa and Aldershot. The Georgetown line has a more limited off-peak train service between Toronto and Bramalea. The Aldershot GO Station is a train and bus station in the GO Transit network located in Burlington, Ontario in Canada. ... Brampton, Ontario is a city in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada. ...

Each train route has a corresponding GO Bus service for the times (and directions) when the trains are not operating. These accept the same tickets as the trains and in many cases serve the same stations. For example, buses operate from Toronto to Milton, and from Burlington (on weekends Oakville) to Hamilton, at all times except the weekday evening peak when trains are available. Some train routes are similarly extended by buses at all times, as noted in the list of routes, with through buses when the trains do not run. Thus buses to Barrie operate from Bradford in the evening peak, and from Toronto at other times. For the electoral district, see Barrie (electoral district). ...

Still other GO Buses are independent of rail services. Some parts of the route network use expressways (such as the frequent Toronto–Hamilton express bus via the Queen Elizabeth Way) while others are more local in character. Toronto Pearson International Airport is served by a route from Brampton to Yorkdale and York Mills subway stations. Buses serving downtown Toronto operate to a terminal adjacent to Union Station.

Ridership

GO runs 180 train trips and 1,430 bus trips daily, carrying about 190,000 passengers on a typical weekday — 160,000 on the trains and 30,000 by bus. GO says that their ridership growth has continually exceeded expectations. In the first year of operation, 2.5 million passengers were carried. The combined rail and bus system today handles more than 47 million riders annually.

At least 96% of the train ridership is to and from Union Station in downtown Toronto, while about 70% of all bus passengers travel to and from the City of Toronto.

Recent service disruptions

In recent years, since initiating a major infrastructure renewal program in 2005, GO Transit has been plagued with frequent service disruptions, often leading to trip cancellations, and stranding passengers at GO stations. In addition to several major service disruptions, GO trains also rountinely arrive at their destinations late. Weekday passengers travelling to Union Station during the morning rush hour should expect their trains to arrive in downtown Toronto at least several minutes late. GO has blamed many of the disruptions on long-delayed construction projects it has recently undertaken. It cites underfunding by previous Ontario governments for delaying critical infrastructure improvements necessary to handle GO's growing passenger volumes. Passengers though, are more likely to fault GO directly, alleging that the agency shows little concern for their schedules, and fails to provide accurate information when major delays occur. Union Station is a major railway, subway, and streetcar hub at 65 Front Street West between Bay Street and York Street in downtown Toronto. ...

History

GO Transit was created and funded by the provincial government in 1967 as Government of Ontario Transit (hence the acronym 'GO') and was financed entirely by the Province of Ontario until the end of 1997. The Province subsidized any operating costs that were not recovered through revenue, as well as all capital costs. Responsibility for the system was then transferred to the Toronto Area Transportation Operating Authority (TATOA) and later to the Greater Toronto Services Board as part of the province's 'downloading' initiative, before finally returning to the province as a Crown Agency under Greater Toronto Transit Authority (GTTA).

GO began as a three-year experiment in May 1967 running single-deck diesel multiple units on a single rail line along Lake Ontario's shoreline. All day GO Train service ran from Oakville to Pickering with limited rush hour train service to Hamilton. Lakeshore GO trains carried 2.5 million riders that first year and was considered to be a success. GO Bus service, which started out as an extension of the original Lakeshore train line, has since become a full-fledged network in its own right. It feeds the rail service and serves communities that trains do not reach.

Expansion continued in the 1970s with the introduction of the Georgetown line in 1974 and the Richmond Hill line in 1978. Also in 1978 the GO Transit bi-level railcars were introduced, although many of the bi-level trains had to run with a single level cab car at first. Finally in 1979 the current GO Train concourse at Union Station was built.

The 1980s proved to be the most exciting time for GO Transit as in 1981 the Milton GO Train line opened. Then just one year later in 1982 the Bradford line and Stouffville line opened after the newly created VIA Rail Canada cut passenger rail service to these corridors. Towards the end of 1982 came GO Transit's moment of truth, as the Ontario Minister of Transportation and Communications, James Snow, announced the launching GO ALRT, an interregional rapid transit program.^[2] This is a transit system that would have allowed computer controlled trains to run at a maximum frequency of two minutes instead of the usual twenty minutes during rush hour. One line would have replaced the Lakeshore GO Train line and would have run from Hamilton to Oshawa. The other would have connected Oakville with downtown Mississauga, Pearson Airport, downtown North York and the Scarborough Town Centre before finally terminating at Pickering. A short lived third line would have run north-south connecting Brampton with Mississauga. The rail cars (designed by The Urban Transportation Development Corporation) started out as a ICTS train similar to the Scarborough RT later evolved in 1983 to the length of roughly a Toronto subway train. Further redesign in 1984/85 indicated that greater carrying capacity was going to be required resulting in cars similar in length to VIA's LRC coach car. Meanwhile Hamilton residents were strongly opposed to the plan which caused the proposal to go under in 1985 which was also a result of long time Ontario PC premier Bill Davis being replaced by the late Ontario PC leader Frank Miller who served only a few months in office.

With the end of GO ALRT and the creation of a coalition provincial government between the Ontario NDP and Ontario Liberals, it was decided that certain parts of the GO ALRT proposal would live on, in the form of a GO Train extension of all-day GO Train service to Whitby and Burlington. The tracks between Pickering and Whitby were originally built for the GO ALRT system but were soon converted to handle conventional GO Trains. All day GO Train service was brought to Whitby in 1988.

In the 1990s, the era of continuous growth came to end. Ridership shrank as a result of a recession in the early part of the decade. In spite of this, GO extended limited rush hour GO Train service to Barrie, Guelph, Acton and Oshawa in 1990. In the same year, GO also introduced off-peak train service on the Milton line, much of which only operated as far west as Erindale. In May, 1992, while GO Transit celebrated its 25th birthday, all-day GO Train service was extended to Burlington with the building of a new station at Aldershot. However, in 1993 former Ontario premier Bob Rae announced the Social Contract, which would see a "temporary" reduction in spending on services. Consequentially GO Train service to Barrie, Guelph and Acton was eliminated. All day GO Train service to Whitby and Burlington was reduced to rush hours only (while limited rush hour train service to Oshawa and Hamilton remained in place). All day Lakeshore train service existed only between Pickering and Oakville. In 1995 a new set of tracks and a station were built in Oshawa, allowing for frequent rush hour GO Train service to Oshawa. In 1996, off-peak service ceased on the Milton line.

With the election of former Ontario premier Mike Harris in June, 1995, plans for expanding GO Transit were put on hold as part of an overall reduction in government spending. Michael Deane Harris (born January 23, 1945, in Toronto, Ontario) was the twenty-second Premier of Ontario from June 26, 1995 to April 15, 2002. ...

In January 1997, the province announced it would hand over funding responsibility for GO Transit to the Greater Toronto Area municipalities (which consist of the City of Toronto, and the Regions of Halton, Peel, York, and Durham) as well as the neighbouring Region of Hamilton-Wentworth (which became the new City of Hamilton on 1 January 2001). In exchange, the province would assume certain other funding responsibilities from municipal governments. For the band, see 1997 (band). ...

A year later, on 1 January 1998, the GTA municipalities and Hamilton-Wentworth (now the city of Hamilton) began to fund GO Transit, cost-sharing all of GO's capital expenses and any operating costs that are not recovered through passenger fares and other revenue. On 1 January 1999, a new municipal agency created by the province came into being: the Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB), composed of regional chairs, municipal mayors, and local councillors from the GTSB's service area. GO Transit transferred over to the municipal sector as an arm of the GTSB (Toronto Area Transit Operating Authority) on August 7, 1999, thus completing the process that had begun with the funding change of 1998. is the 1st day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

In 2000, all day GO Train service was restored from Burlington to Whitby and finally brought to Oshawa (although weekend & holiday Lakeshore GO Train service would still only see service between Pickering and Oakville).

On September 27, 2001, Ontario Premier Mike Harris announced that the Provincial government would be taking back responsibility for GO Transit, and putting $3 billion into public transit in Ontario.

Future expansion

GO Transit has a ten-year plan in place, which includes provisions for new train stations, more parking spaces at existing stations, and increasing service on some (or all) existing train lines. While Go Transit has not expressed the desire for new train lines, some have been proposed in MoveOntario2020, the provincial transit plan. Here are some of the improvements being planned, or in the process of completion:

• Construction of the Mount Pleasant Station on the Georgetown line (Bovaird Drive and Creditview Road) continues, but the station has been open for service since February 2005.
• Expanding the Highway 407 bus service to York University; other academic institutions served on the 407 routing include: McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario (new terminal set to open January 2007), Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario, Centennial College and University of Toronto at Scarborough in eastern Toronto, Durham College and UOIT in Oshawa, Ontario, and more recently University of Guelph in Guelph, Ontario.
• Increasing available parking spaces at Bradford and Milton stations, along with multi-deck parking at several stations.
• Moved the Milliken station south of Steeles Avenue into Toronto from York Region on 6 September 2005.
• Construction of a new Kennedy station, which will allow for transfers to/from the TTC (Bloor-Danforth Line, Scarborough RT or connecting TTC bus services) that opened for service on 2 June 2005.
• Construction of a new Stouffville North GO Station, at 10th Line and Bethesda Road in Stouffville-Whitchurch, where the current layover facility is located. Opening estimated for late 2007 or early 2008.
• Improved overnight train storage facilities at Milton, Hamilton and Mount Pleasant; permitting GO Transit to operate longer trains, improve train schedule reliability and add new train trips.
• Installation of railway crossing protection arms at various roads.
• Improving accessibility to GO Transit's services for the physically challenged.

• Rail-to-rail grade separations where the Bradford and Stouffville lines cross CN's east-west freight line, to allow for increased service, and at the West Toronto Diamond, to take the CN tracks on the Georgetown line under the CP tracks so that more trains can run more reliably--construction on the Stouffville Line began in May 2006.
• Increased track capacity on the Georgetown line's busy section between Brampton and northwest Toronto to allow more frequent train movements, and a new train layover facility near Mount Pleasant station.
• Track upgrades on the Milton line to run more peak and off-peak trains.
• The controversial proposal for the Blue22 high-speed train service between the Pearson Airport and Union Station via the Georgetown line using Bombardier diesel cars. So named for the numbers of minutes the trip would take between Pearson and Downtown (one-way distance around 30 km). Because the Airport is located some 5 km from the line, a proposed spur line would need to be constructed to connect the trains to the LINK Interterminal Shuttle currently serving the terminal facilities. It is uncertain how this service would be coordinated with GO Transit, which uses the same Georgetown Line and extensive track upgrades along this line would be required. The project was announced as a transportation priority by the previous federal Liberal government in 2000 and a contract to build the diesel cars was awarded in 2003, with the expectation of project completion by 2008. At the current pace, this is unlikely, and is opposed by residents in places like Weston.

• Launched in the fall of 2000, GO's Bus Rapid Transit service began by operating along Highway 407 to serve the York University campus. It has grown and flourished, with greatly improved services and new park & ride lots. The GO BRT service is now one of our fastest growing services, yielding 12,000 rides on a typical day. As part of this service, we are working with the City of Mississauga to build new, exclusive bus lanes on roads in Mississauga along Highway 403. Visit Mississauga's BRT website for more information on this project. The new locomotive's paint scheme is similar to the new look our buses are sporting.

Expansions beyond GO's present service area — initiatives that are part of the project funding announcements made by the Ontario and the Canadian federal governments, including:

Main article: Barrie South (GO Station)

• Extending the Bradford line train service to the Barrie, Ontario area, using track corridor owned by the City of Barrie (who acquired the right of way following CN's abandonment, after GO Trains last ran there)

• Introducing commuter bus services to Niagara Region, and to Waterloo Region to build the market for train service. Both Waterloo and Niagara regional governments are strongly in favour of GO Trains service being brought to these areas. Service expansion to Peterborough has also been proposed, but GO has expressed no interest in providing it. The City of Peterborough is also strongly in favour of having GO service there, but only by rail.

• In the Fall of 2007, GO Transit added a new Bus service between the University of Guelph and Cooksville, with additional stops at Aberfoyle and Square One. Additionally, the Highway 407 express route servicing the Meadowvale and Bramalea GO stations and York University was extended to the University of Guelph. A new park and ride facility will also be built in Aberfoyle at Brock and McLean roads near the 401. [1]

Theoretically, GO Transit can serve any region in Ontario and set up service in other areas as well, as it is a provincial agency; however, there is no real market for inter-regional service in other regions (such as in/near the larger cities in Southwestern Ontario and in the National Capital Region) that is not provided by private agencies or VIA Rail.

Proposed Train Routes

The Provincial transit plan, MoveOntario2020, has proposed a number of new train corridors. They include:

-Union Station to Bolton This line would follow a CP rail line through western Toronto and Woodbridge to the suburban community of Bolton, replacing a bus service that currently encompasses two inbound and two outbound trips.

-Seaton Line This line would use CN's Havelock division to run initially from a new station either at Yonge Street in the former North Toronto Station, or adjacent to the Dupont Subway Station at Spadina Road east to Brock Road in Pickering. Spadina Summer Under All Seasons Dupont is a station on the Yonge-University-Spadina line of the subway/RT system in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. ...

-Pickering Airport Line This proposed route would run from the same station as the Seaton Line, northeast to Brock Road in the small community of Claremont, within the city of Pickering. This line would serve the growing community of Cornell in Markham, as well as the established Morningside Heights subdivision in Toronto, however the main purpose of the line as stated by its name would be to serve the planned Pickering International Airport, set to open sometime after 2010. Although it has not been proposed, it is possible that trains on this line may eventually run to Peterborough, as the growing city has previously stated that it only wants GO service if it is by train.

-Midtown Corridor This route would use the CP freight mainline that cuts through Toronto just north of the downtown area. It would run from somewhere near the Junction (intersection of many CN and CP lines, as well as the GO Georgetown and Milton routes) to somewhere near the Don Valley if operated as its own route. Otherwise, it would simply be an extension of the Seaton and Pickering routes westward, or a combination of trains from the Georgetown and Milton lines. This route would take pressure off of Union Station, however the proposal faces many roadblocks. Canadian Pacific has not been very willing to operate GO Trains on its tracks, and this line would use its most congested route, the mainline. Also, the proposed transfer points to the Yonge-University-Spadina subway are disadvantageous. Passengers transferring at Union Station take advantage of some rare rush hour spare capacity on the line, whereas the new station would only add to the growing congestion on the Yonge and University segments.
