GO Transit users will soon be able to enjoy free wireless internet access during their commute. The free Wi-Fi connection will be available on all 1,475 GO buses and trains starting in spring of 2020.

The announcement was made at the Milton GO station on Sept. 4 by associate minister of transportation (GTA) Kinga Surma, Milton MPP Parm Gill, and chief marketing officer for Metrolinx Mark Childs.

“We’re excited to share this news with GO customers,” said Surma in a release. “Our government is delivering on its promise to make life easier for people by giving them the opportunity to stay connected to family, friends and colleagues while travelling to work, school or appointments."

Meanwhile, Gill wrote that “more and more people depend on their phones to be able to work, study and keep in touch with friends and family during their daily commute.”
