McGuinty Government Building Better Public Transit
The McGuinty government is building on the success of GO bus service to Guelph and Kitchener-Waterloo, bringing GO train service to the region. The Georgetown line is being expanded with stops in Acton, Guelph and Kitchener. Trains will be running by the end of 2011.
Inaugural service will include two morning trains to Toronto Union Station and two return afternoon trains.
Commuters will be able to use their PRESTO cards to get on the GO train in Guelph, Acton and Kitchener, seamlessly connecting them with other transit systems that are PRESTO-enabled.
GO will be commencing construction on a layover facility in Kitchener to store the GO trains and making improvements to the Acton, Guelph and Kitchener stations.
This project will create approximately 180 design and construction jobs and is part of the Open Ontario plan to create opportunities across the province.
SOUNDS GREAT! HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS SERVICE BEING PROVIDED? WILL YOU USE IT?
