BURLINGTON, ON

The free co-fare program begins Monday, March 14, 2022 and promotes using local transit, like Burlington Transit, as part of users’ GO Transit journey.

How to get the free/discounted co-fare

Tap on Burlington Transit and GO Transit using a PRESTO card and riders will automatically get the free co-fare.

When taking Burlington Transit first:

1. Ride Burlington Transit and pay the fare.
2. Get on GO Transit and your GO Transit fare will be discounted by the value of the Burlington Transit fare.

Will parking in the parking lots we leave our cars in remain free while we ride these trains?

When taking GO Transit first:

1. Travel on GO Transit and pay the fare.
2. Get on a Burlington Transit bus and it’s the same as a transfer—there are no extra fees

This program allows customers to ride Burlington Transit for free combining Burlington Transit with GO Transit.

For a Burlington adult that commutes every weekday using Burlington Transit and GO Transit, this could add up to savings of more than $200 a year. There are four GO Transit options in Burlington: Aldershot GO, Appleby GO, Burlington GO and the 407 Carpool lot (buses only).
