Walking

Walking is one of the simplest ways to connect with your GO station.

The benefits of walking are great – not only does it save you time, money, and improve your health, it’s also a sustainable method of transportation that helps reduce your carbon footprint.

GO stations and stops

To find out how to access your station, visit our Stations and Stops page and select your GO station. Many of our stations are accessible from more than one location and direction. The station’s street address may not show the shortest walking distance – that’s why finding out about the local area can present the best route for you.

Walking travel tips

If you’ve never walked to your GO station before, try doing it on a weekend or evening when you’re not rushed – this will help you comfortably estimate your walking time.

Did you know you if you walk to your local transit stop and use it to take you to your GO station, you can save money?

Using your GO Transit ticket – single-ride, 2-ride, and 10-ride – or monthly pass you’ll get a big discount on local transit.
Check out GO’s local transit page to see where you can save 75% off the local fare. For an adult cash fare, that works out to a savings of more than $1.50 each way.

If you currently drive and live within two kilometres of your GO station, try walking just once or twice a week. Or, get a ride in the morning to your station’s convenient kiss & ride and walk home in the evening to relax and unwind after a long day.

If you’re walking on a road with no sidewalk, walk facing traffic.

Always look both ways and exercise caution when crossing at a crosswalk or intersection.
