As opposed to GO plus, I always thought the secondary units should be 'GO North'; 'GO East', and 'GO West' ...........while Toronto-centric service could be GO T.O.
Always just appealed to me as a marketing thing.
Start by absorbing Ontario Northland; and it becoming GO North
That could work too, but I think for a lot of people separating based on service type is a more natural division than by geographic region. Most transit systems categorize routes by type (bus, express bus, rapid transit, etc). From a funding perspective, it's also easier to direct funding to "GO+ improvements" than it is to list "GO North, GO West, etc", because inevitably one agency will get less than everyone else, and then people start complaining. Just look at how much crap the GTA and Non-GTA infrastructure pot funding stirred up, and that distribution was relatively even!
And yes, Ontario Northland would be a very logical addition.
I'd like to see Ottawa get the moose rail set up first.
Yes, Moose Rail is certainly an interesting model. Time will tell if it's successful or not.
