Interesting to see that @Metrolinx is studying plan to extend GO Transit bus service from Brantford to @SixNationsGR & @mcfirstnation. I wonder if a GO transit extension from Barrie to Orillia and @CRFNOfficial could also work.

Starting a series this week looking at small GO Train extensions and infill stations that would pay dividends to better connecting the network. First up, an extension of Lakeshore West to downtown Niagara Falls! The line would follow the former CP Hamilton sub to Clifton Hill

Hey @TownOfCaledon, people want transit! @BramptonTransit’s 41 into Bolton is absolutely packed to the doors, and only runs every 110 minutes. More frequency equals more freedom from traffic on Highway 50
