Appleby GO Station - Outdoor parking

Appleby GO Station

My first time at this GO Station! I was dropped off on a Thursday morning around 8am. There was…read morestill lots of parking available here (all surface spots). They have many lanes of 'kiss and ride' too so you can pull right up to the buildings. There are boards that display the train schedule in convenient locations and lots of Presto machines. The first one I walked up to was stuck on "turning on" so I had to use a different one. Make sure the machine that you tap on at is working so your fare gets processed. The actual platform is comfortable as there were lots of shelters and a lot of it was covered to protect you from the elements. A good transit stop all around.

I've been commuting to work in Toronto from the Appleby GO Station for over eight years now…read more For the past two years GO customers using this station have had to put up with lots of construction going on but happily most of the renovations are now complete. My major complaints have been that there was woefully inadequate shelter on the platforms, and there weren't enough stairs and only one tunnel so it was way too crowded when disembarking from a busy train. Thankfully both of these problems have largely been addressed by the addition of a second tunnel to the east of the original one, and greatly expanded shelters on the south platform. Parking is becoming a big problem here as over the years the usage has increased to the point where on weekdays you may not be able to find a spot (oddly Tuesdays seem to be the busiest). GO is in the process of building another parking lot on the north side (off of Harvester) but the construction notices at the station indicate that it won't be ready until December 2011. The concession stand has moved out of the ticket office area (at ground level) down to the south end of the western tunnel. The coffee's actually pretty good and they also sell muffins and bagels in case you ran out the door without eating your breakfast. Some tips when using this station: - If you plan to park at the station after 9am on a weekday, head to the south parking lot (off of Fairview) because the north lot (off of Harvester) is probably full. - If you don't already have tickets, try to be at the station well in advance of the departure time because the ticket line can be long - Pay close attention to the electronic displays in the ticket area and tunnels because trains can unexpectedly switch to a different track. - Remember which lot (north or south) you park in! On several occasions I've been approached by somebody who couldn't find their vehicle and assumed it had been stolen because they didn't know there were actually two parking lots. I always like to see the look of relief on their faces when I tell them about the other parking lot. ;-)

I normally don't do reviews but I would like to say my driver today deserves alot of credit. Smooth ride and handles herself well driving that bus. Don't know who she is but whoever did the 2:50 trip from appleby line and dundas to the go station 2 thumbs up. Awesome job gurl

Often speed past me because I work late in a rural area. They do not support farmers, so this…read morefarmer does not support them back. How many minutes do you need to wait at a bus stop before you are allowed to be picked up? Whether you wait for 10 minutes or 10 seconds is it not a bus drivers duty to pick up passengers waiting at a designated stop? The bus operator was running late and said because I wasn't there at "his time" he had the right to refuse service. I've never come across a bus driver who didn't want to pick up a passenger in the cold of night, not only that I've never seen someone rejoice (Big ole smile and thumbs up) at leaving a passenger to wait for the next bus. This is the 4th time a Burlington Transit bus operator has refused to even stop for me. I typically get a ride to the bus stop, and wait at the stop, but because this bus driver saw me get dropped off he sped up so he wouldn't have to pick me up. Truly evil and bizarre on part of Burlington Transit. https://youtu.be/1ughbHa5mKI

Located right in downtown Brampton, and it's great that they still have three fairly large (free)…read moreparking lots. The station helps add to the character of the immediate surrounding area of heritage of the unique (albeit small) city centre. It has GO train service, and recently they've added all-day, 2-way service on weekdays during business hours which is great. The GO bus terminal is right beside with several routes offered. The train station serves as a VIA rail station and you can get to places like Montreal from this station. Tip: Closer to the bus station is The Village Bake Shop, which is a great place to get coffee, baked goods and such. You'd need to set aside a few extra minutes to go on a run there if you were getting on the train however. One frustrating thing, and for all GO stations for that matter, are the ridiculously slow ticket machines. There's a stress that cannot be compared to anything else when you hear the train rolling in and the machine takes half a minute just to bring up 'Union' station on the search. Practically a couple minutes just to get your ticket.

I use this station fairly often, as it has good direct connections to downtown Toronto. You can get…read moreregular buses to Union Station, Yorkdale, and York Mills among other places, and the train service is both ways on weekdays, shuttling you quickly and smoothly into the big city. Looking forward to it being evenings and weekends if that cargo bypass ever gets built! Anyhow -- the station is well organized and has elevators for those who aren't able to use stairs, and ample signage so commuters don't get lost. I recommend using your Presto card instead of the ticket machines if you are able, because the machines are super clunky. That's everybody though, not just this station. There's lots of free surface parking if you need it, but Brampton transit has many buses that go to Brampton Bus Terminal/Brampton GO so you can ditch the car entirely if you want! The area has a lot of good shops around it, but there are a few dodgy bits, so keep aware of your surroundings.

A very interesting place that not many people know about…read more People are using this as a catch-all page to review the transit system as a whole, but I would like to talk about the head office that is located at 975 Central Parkway. This isn't a place I ever intended to visit, but I did so last week (as of this writing) to attend a transit infrastructure press conference. My experience with the staff was fantastic, as I was initially lost and unsure of where to go until someone (one of the lead supervisors, perhaps) was able to guide me to the parking site where the conference was taking place. I got to see a ground-floor on the operations that go on at the facility, as the staging area for the conference was held in what appeared to be a hybrid office/locker room, before we all moved into the main transit garage of the site, which houses dozens of vehicles and is ground zero for vehicle maintenance and repairs. The press conference itself was primarily intended to announce funding for MiWay, to the tune of nearly $400 million over the next decade. There are several sectors in the city where these funds would be best served, which is why I was glad to see the commitment being made. That dovetails into my views of the system as a whole. Some of the reviews on this page are laughable. I've had my share of bad experiences with MiWay over the last few years, but to say they're worse than TTC or the GO (where I've actually had to sit for nearly an hour as they worked to fix the train I was on due to a key part failing) is hilarious. Everyone has bad experiences - two weeks ago as of this writing, for instance, I had to wait more than an hour to leave a bus stop in Meadowvale (one of the aforementioned sectors in the city). The municipal government knows about the problems and frequency issues - on the frequently-traveled lines like the 19 or 1, it's fantastic and you can be back home in half an hour or less, but it is known that anything outside of that can be spotty, which is not a problem that's unique to MiWay. When 100+ kids are trying to cram onto a bus at Port Credit Secondary School, of course there are going to be delays. I'm not trying to be an apologist here, but some of the reviews blasting the system for things that are outside of their control and can't be solved without further funding are laughable. And within that context, Mississauga is a minnow in the ocean compared to T.O., which is getting at least $2 billion to develop additional LRT lines, subway upgrades and much more. Context is everything. I see the system having additional challenges, but MiWay has rarely steered me wrong and I've had plenty of positive experiences, and my recent journey to their head office only reinforced that perception.

I reached the square one yesterday and the 107 bus express is terrible at 3:18pm and then waiting…read moretwo hours for 28 bus until it shows up late
