GO Transit free for kids 12 and under starting March 9
The province has extended free GO Transit ridership to children under the age 12.
Starting Saturday, March 9, kids 12 and under will be able to travel free of charge on all GO Transit buses and trains without a Presto Card or paper ticket.
“Letting kids travel on GO for free will make taking transit easier and more affordable for parents and kids,” stated Transportation Minister Jeff Yurek in a media release. “Whether you’re visiting family or taking a trip to the mall, free trips for children will help families save money and offer parents a low-stress alternative to driving. Ontario is putting families first.”
Metrolinx CEO Phil Verster said the free rides will mean “more family adventures.”
“The whole family can give GO Transit a try while getting our younger generations excited about taking the train or the bus.”
