Metrolinx customers hopping on GO Transit have a new place to park their bike thanks to a total of 140 new secure spots available at five stations across the GO network that can be reserved ahead of time.
Specifically, the new bike rooms are located at Rutherford, Cooksville, Pickering, Centennial and East Gwillimbury GO Stations – with more to come later this year.
Reserved bike room registration forms must be submitted no later than the 15th of each month to gain access on the 1st of the next month. For example, to gain access to the new reserved bike rooms on Oct. 1, customers must submit a registration form for a spot by Sept. 15. These reserved bike rooms will make it much more convenient for customers to get to and from their nearest GO station.
The initiative is part of Metrolinx’s goal to increase station access for customers with a variety of travel preferences – so, those who live too far to walk and don’t want to drive now have another option.
Reserving a spot
The spots in each bike room are by reservation only. This helps ensure that customers’ bikes are kept safe and secure. Each spot costs C$50 (US$38.15) (price includes HST) for a one-year reservation. Customers can apply to reserve a spot online and will then receive a code that they can use to access the bike parking room.
Check out the GO website for more information about reserving a spot.
