Waterloo Region is dangling a carrot in front of potential GO train users.
In an effort to ensure solid ridership right out of the gate, the Region has announced a series of incentives, less than two weeks before the trains start rolling into Kitchener.
This morning’s Record reports the so-called perks include allowing passengers to ride Grand River Transit buses to and from GO trains at a reduced fare of 50 cents.
There will also be shuttle vans from the Charles Street transit terminal to the train station.
Up to 123 free parking spaces will be provided for GO passengers at King and Victoria with more to come in 2012.
The initial Go train offering, which begins December 19th, will see two trains leave Kitchener every weekday morning for Toronto with two returning to Kitchener in the evening.
