Travelling on GO Transit is now free for kids 12 and under

Kids GO Free program kicks off just in time for March Break.

Mar 11, 2019

Starting March 9, 2019, kids 12 and under can ride free on all GO trains and buses, making it easier and more affordable for families to take transit throughout the region — just in time for March Break.

Kids 12 and under do not need to tap with a PRESTO card or purchase a paper ticket to ride on GO Transit.

The change, which was officially approved by the Metrolinx Board of Directors on March 1, creates a more seamless, connected transit experience for customers.

Kids GO free hits the mark
