GO fares for shorter trips to decrease, but falls short of Smart Track promise GlobeToronto
Metrolinx is planning to lower the fare for short journeys on its GO Transit network, while keeping them at a level above what Toronto Mayor John Tory promised for his Smart Track plan.
“What we are seeing is that there’s a whole market segment of short-distance travellers that we are not fully hooking into our service,” Metrolinx CEO Phil Verster said Monday. He cited internal modeling that he said showed the move is expected to generate an additional two million rides annually.Fares on journeys longer than 10 kilometres will rise, depending on the length of trip, by up to four per cent.
The Liberal plan would have cost $90-million over three years, that government said. The $3.70 fare will be revenue-neutral, according to Metrolinx, by spurring ridership.
