    Literally used Bike Share to get there last week...only needed to pick up a prescription though. Glad there's one closer to Costco now since I had to walk from Thorncliffe Park Dr last week!

    They literally advertised it as a 4 day pass in 2021:

    Yes, it was valid for 4 days in 2021 and 2022.

    The $40 yearly Niagara Parks parking pass is also one hell of a subsidy.

    They're already subsidizing tourism to Niagara Falls via car. Why should it not be subsidized via train?

    I don't think it needs to break even either. We never have the expectations for roads to break even.

    GO has sneakily removed the $15 weekend pass from their website. That's too bad...sometimes I'd get the weekend pass even though I only needed a day pass, so that I could go to more places on the 2nd/3rd day. https://www.gotransit.com/en/partners-and-promotions/weekend-passes-with-go

    This makes sense to me...it works exactly how it currently works for 905 transit agencies today, which was probably the easiest way to implement it.

    Omfg finally I can get to Krispy Kreme from Guildwood GO without having to walk 20 minutes each way. Last week I brought my own lock so I could take a bike from Guildwood and bring it back.

    Oh...that's why both directions of that train qualified for the 15 minute service guarantee lol.

    Yes, a few weeks ago I was on a train that ran express from Appleby to Union because an emergency at Burlington had us stopped there for almost 30 minutes. They told everyone going to intermediate stops to get off at Appleby and we got to Union on time. The train became a Lakeshore East train...

    Pretty sure the weekend passes are online only by design as a form of price discrimination: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_discrimination I still see tons of people tapping their Presto cards on trips where it would be cheaper to buy a pass.

    lol I've carried a 10lb bag of potatoes in that basket and it fit perfectly.

    I mean...he's taken a downgrade before by going from the MBTA to YRT.

    I experienced both the Maple Leaf customs process and self-connecting from the last Empire train to a FlixBus a few weeks ago and self-connecting was WAY better than going through customs on the Maple Leaf. On the Maple Leaf, it took 75 minutes to get off the train and get back on the train in...

    Haha sadly I have not since I don't bike to work anymore. I switched to a corporate account in November 2022 and have only had 327 trips since then.

    Weekends only. When I took the weekday train for the first time last month, it was packed because it was only 6 cars. At least we got there early since the 6 car trains can accelerate faster.
