Service Guarantee

Our Guarantee


We promise to do our best to be on time, however, sometimes delays happen – including those outside our control. Our GO Train Service Guarantee applies to all delayed, regularly scheduled trips, except when delays are caused by extreme weather conditions.
If your train’s arrival is delayed by 15 minutes or more, we will credit what you paid for your GO train trip. Our Service Guarantee policy doesn’t apply to delays caused by extreme weather conditions, including Environment Canada advisories, watches, and warnings. This also includes severe winter weather conditions when GO Transit operates on a special schedule.
Special flat-fare tickets, including the GO + Niagara Parks Pricing Package, the Weekend Pass, Weekend Day Pass, and Weekday Group Pass for unlimited travel, are not eligible for Service Guarantee refunds.

Eligibility


If you travelled on GO Transit and your trip was delayed, you can click on the “Check Trip” link above once the trip is complete to see if it qualifies for a credit. It may take up to 72 hours for the system to show the trip’s eligibility status. If your trip qualifies, see below for how to request a credit. 
To be eligible, if you’ve travelled with a ticket on the delayed train, that ticket must have been purchased within one hour of the scheduled departure time. To qualify for a credit on an eligible trip paid with a physical PRESTO card, PRESTO in Google Wallet or PRESTO contactless with a credit or debit card, including that card on a phone or watch, you must have tapped on within 15 minutes of your trip’s scheduled departure time.

Special flat-fare tickets, including the Weekend Pass, Weekend Day Pass, and Weekday Group Pass for unlimited travel, are not eligible for Service Guarantee refunds.

Requesting a Credit


You can apply for a credit once the trip is complete and is confirmed to qualify for a credit, as outlined above.

Submit your claim online within 30 days of the delayed trip.

If you used a day or group pass, please reach out to our Contact Centre.

Credit Value


If your trip qualifies for the Service Guarantee, you will be credited the fare paid for the eligible delayed trip. PRESTO card holders in their 35+ trip discount periods will receive the reduced fare paid as credit on their physical PRESTO card or PRESTO in Google Wallet. 

If you paid by PRESTO contactless with a credit or debit card, including that card on a phone or watch, you will be credited the fare paid for the eligible delayed trip. 

If you travelled with a paper ticket, day pass or group pass, you will receive a GO credit voucher.*

If you travelled with an e-ticket, you will receive an e-ticket of the same value you paid.

*Day and group pass customers will receive GO fare vouchers for one half of the pass price for a delayed trip, up to a maximum of two trips.
