Take the GO Bus to bike Aberfoyle, Holland Marsh, Lake Simcoe... etc.!
With bike racks now on every GO Bus, you can enjoy a ride this summer anywhere the GO Bus can take you, and your bike... start from Newcastle (east) or Beaverton (north), Guelph (west) or Stoney Creek (south) and everywhere in between!
* Please note: There are now bike lanes on lower Yonge St - at the east end of the GO Bus terminal at Union Station. These connect to the Waterfront Trail to the south - and get you safely past The Gardiner and Lakeshore Blvd.
