“The fact that the GO is talking about this issue makes me feel very though of as a commuter and I’m liking this system more and more each day”

Downtown residents: reverse commute and meetings
For local residents: new transportation options
For leisure travellers: weekend transportation options
Leverage complementary customer bases
“Car sharing at GO stations would be great for my company because most of our staff are young and don’t own their own vehicles. It would make it easier to go to meetings without having to go thought the hassle of renting cars ahead of time. It would also mean that if I have a meeting in the suburbs I wouldn’t have to drive downtown”
