Celebrate Lunar New Year with GO Transit

Hop on the GO and enjoy and explore the vibrant displays of culture around the region.

Jan 15, 2025

Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year or Spring Festival, holds deep cultural significance for millions around the world and here in Canada.  

2025 is the Year of the Snake in the lunar calendar, symbolizing a time of personal growth and transformation, like a snake shedding its skin. This year, we’ve introduced a new way to explore and celebrate Lunar New Year across the region, and all it takes is a quick trip on the GO.
