Riding your bike is another convenient way to get to GO stops and stations! Bike storage, bike parking and reserved bicycle parking options are available at select stations.

We encourage active transportation as a healthy, sustainable way to connect you with our services. Bicycles and e-bikes are welcome at GO stations and onboard GO Transit vehicles; however, they are subject to some restrictions outlined in our bike policy. Non-compliance with the policy may result in a ticket or other enforcement action under the Provincial Offences Act.

  • The bus driver cannot assist you with loading/unloading your bicycle.
