Metrolinx is planning significant changes to GO Transit fares that would make short trips cheaper while raising the price of longer journeys. Metrolinx has proposed reducing fares on short GO Transit trips, saying increased ridership will offset the costs. The proposed reduction of fares for shorter trips isn’t as steep a cut as promised by the former Ontario Liberal government. In a statement, Tory said the cheaper GO rides announced Monday were “a positive step” but he would continue to push for parity between GO and TTC fares. He said Metrolinx doesn’t expect higher fares for longer trips to drive away any riders because the increase isn’t very large.
