Commuting on GO Transit is becoming more bicycle-friendly with the addition of secure-access reserved bike parking at Hamilton and Burlington GO Stations.
As part of a one-year pilot project, GO Transit is introducing bike lockers to cyclists for $50 per year at the Hamilton GO centre and in the Burlington GO parking structure.
Beginning October 1st, application forms for reserved bicycle parking spots can be picked up at Toronto’s Union Station customer service, and Burlington or Hamilton GO stations. You will also be able to download the form from GO Transit's website.
Introduction of reserved bike parking at other GO locations will be determined based on the results of this pilot program.
