Ride to GO

YRT/Viva's Ride to GO program offers you convenient and affordable travel to and from GO Train stations in York Region. For just 75 cents, avoid the hassles of driving and parking at a GO Train station and rely on transit.

Ride to GO is available on any YRT/Viva and contracted TTC routes in York Region travelling to/from a GO Train station, including YRT GO Shuttles (200 series routes). You must have valid prepaid GO fare media in addition to your Ride to GO fare (75 cents).

How to GO for 75¢:

Pay your Ride to GO fare with PRESTO, exact change or purchase a Ride to GO fare supplement from oneRide and multiRide fare machines. Remember that you must already have valid prepaid GO fare media. Determine which Ride to GO method(s) of payment is right for you:

Cash (exact change)

You can pay by cash if boarding a YRT or contracted TTC in York Region vehicle travelling to/from your GO Train station. Just drop the exact change (75 cents) into the fare box when you board and show your valid prepaid GO fare media to the driver. Please note that YRT and contracted TTC buses will only accept your GO Transit single-ride or day pass if you are leaving a GO Train station.

Ride to GO fare supplement (from oneRide and multiRide fare machines)

If you're using Viva to travel to/from your GO Train station, you will need to buy a Ride to GO fare supplement from a oneRide or multiRide fare machine. You must also be able to present your valid prepaid GO fare media to Transit Enforcement officers upon request.

Customers boarding a YRT or contracted TTC in York Region vehicle may choose to pay with cash (see above) or a Ride to GO fare supplement purchased from a oneRide or multiRide fare machine.

PRESTO

Ride to GO with your PRESTO card and the appropriate fares will be automatically calculated and deducted.

  • When connecting from YRT/Viva to GO Transit, a full YRT/Viva fare will be deducted from your PRESTO card. When you tap on/off GO Transit, your GO fare will be reduced accordingly.
  • When connecting from GO Transit to YRT/Viva, a full GO fare plus YRT/Viva Ride to GO fare will be deducted from your PRESTO card.
  • When connecting to/from a GO Train station using a contracted TTC route operating in York Region, show your PRESTO card to the driver and deposit your Ride to GO cash fare (75 cents exact change).
  • When transferring from GO Transit to YRT/Viva to a contracted TTC route operating in York Region, use your PRESTO card on GO and YRT/Viva. Upon boarding YRT/Viva, request a special transfer from the driver to be used when boarding the TTC bus.
