courtesy tips for riders
 

Here are a few tips to remember when riding GO, to make your trip – and everyone else’s – more pleasant:

  • Please respect the Courtesy Seating signs on GO Trains and GO Buses. Courtesy Seating should be kept available for passengers with disabilities or injuries, as well as senior citizens or expectant mothers.
  • One car on every train is accessible to people who need step-free access to the train, including passengers who use mobility devices such as wheelchairs and scooters, senior citizens, passengers with medical conditions, or those with luggage or baby strollers. Please make sure there is plenty of room for these passengers to board and, for those who need it, to use the Priority Seating on the lower level of the car. These priority seats are flipped up for passengers using wheelchairs or scooters. Each accessible GO Bus also has Priority Seating.
  • Please put your newspapers in recycling bins and your litter in garbage cans at the station. Garbage cans are also found on the trains.
  • For everyone’s safety, please place your belongings under your seat or on your lap. When standing, please carry your backpack in your hand to avoid bumping into other passengers.
  • Standing in front of doors makes it difficult for people getting on or off. Please keep doors easily accessible.
  • When using cell phones, please be mindful of others by turning down your ringer volume or switching to vibrate mode, and by speaking quietly while on the phone.
  • When listening to radios, CD players, or other devices with headphones, please make sure the volume is low so you don’t bother the passengers around you.
  • Talk low on the go. Please keep your voice low when talking to people sitting near you or across the aisle.
  • Seating on GO Trains and GO Buses is first-come, first-served. Please do not try to “save” seats for others.
  • Please keep your feet off the seats around you.
  • Please refrain from spraying perfume or applying scented beauty products while on the train or bus. Doing so may bother other passengers with allergies or sensitivities.
