I questioned GO on their facebook page last Friday about a bike rider during rush hour that was pulled off the train by transit enforcement at union, only to be let back on 2 minutes later.

It was disconcerting but I was chilly and it worked for me.<br /><br />The bike issue is something that pops up fairly frequently. GO needs to figure out what exactly their policy on it and ENFORCE it.<br /><br />It is like smoking: it is not up to the passengers to police this. It is GO's responsibility to enforce these policies.<br /><br />They need to change that picture.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13230203164105678177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-67347110748634879342017-08-09T15:53:25.308-04:002017-08-09T15:53:25.308-04:00It pained me to post this because there are way bi...It pained me to post this because there are way bigger fish to fry but some of the cyclists many of us have encountered have been overly rude about this. We're not saying you can't bring a bike on a train. You just can't do it at rush hour. You're not exclusive. The rule is for everyone.<br /><br />We pay too much in fare to be told off or trying to police this.C.J. Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325979176373626807noreply@blogger.com
