Bringing a bike with you? 

With so many people using GO Transit, space is limited. Please consider leaving your bike at home. If you’re bringing a bicycle on a GO train during this time, use bike coaches if available or board at Designated Bicycle Zones. A maximum of two bikes can fit on a bike rack on each GO bus. Find out more about travelling with your bike on GO.

On New Year’s Eve, December 31, we are expecting space on our trains to be very limited. To ensure the safety and comfort of our customers, bikes may be prevented from travelling on trains to and from Union Station based on capacity demands. Thank you for your understanding.
