  • A ride on the GO train from Union Station in Toronto to Clarkson GO in suburban Mississauga. I start by exiting the TTC subway station platform and heading over to the GO platforms where I pay my fare and board the train.

    Thank You for this. My wife and I have never taken a GO train before and we were nervous because we knew it was a different system than what we are used to.

    I used to live in Clarkson & worked in downtown Toronto. I took the very first GO Train when the service started & continued to commute via GO until I moved out of Mississauga in 1975. From Union Stn., it was only a 10 min. walk to my office.

    I use to take this train to work 20 years ago. It hasn’t changed at all!!! So slow & still no passengers except during rush hour! Live in a major European city now & public transit is all I use. Don’t even own a car anymore.

    • @awesomeman116a
      @awesomeman116a 2 года назад

      Oh that’s not true
      It is so busy, I’m guessing it wasn’t busy for them cuz it was 10 in the morning and they were heading away from Toronto while most people are heading towards Toronto
      Also in about 10 years and 18 billion dollars later, the train is going to be a lot more faster

      That's not a long walk--6 5 km. It's just that in the suburbs, it feels longer because it's so pedestrian unfriendly .

  • @lisanassy-harrison2441
    @lisanassy-harrison2441 Год назад +1

    I used to use Long Branch GO regularly but until it becomes accessible, I can't anymore since I now use a walker. The only way to the tracks is by stairs.
    So if I want to go downtown, I use Dixie GO (trains only run into Union in the morning though).

    Dear Mr. Johnny Strides... It's an owl... It's moose.... it's a Canadian creature called a Twoonie... No!... It's Johnny Strides and he is taking a train ride.... Johnny is Toronto's Vlogger.... After boarding the train in the far-off land of Somewhere Canada... In the great city of Tall Glass Skyscrapers... The train soon got rolling in the direction of another Place, somewhere in Canada.... Mississauga... The land is famously known for wolverines, small, but ferocious creatures, and not very good house pets... If you attempt to teach a wolverine you might want to consider adopting a nice poodle.... Poodles don't eat furniture... Poodle won't eat your scooter.... Poodles don't wrestle polar bears for breakfast and for lunch eat Smackdown Members.... OH!... The vlog... Sorry, Johnny, I am very busy running away from a ferocious wolverine.... the end.... Always in Good Taste... CHEERS!... Be Supportive and Subscribe... PS. Johnny, get any suggestions on how to escape a hungry Canadian wolverine....?

    The thinking aloud is annoying. Narration of videos needs to add to the viewing experience. Tell the viewer things the picture doesn't. Add detail. Add information that enhances the watching experience. That means doing homework & not wandering around Union Station like a lost sheep. Put yourself in the viewer's shoes & you should come up with a presentation that folks want to watch🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇦

    Hi Johnny , Nice relaxing train ride. 🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆 I wish That the New York City MTA would make something like the Presto Card for the OMNY tap and go system. I will not use a phone , ATM or Credit Card to pay for a ride with all the craziness going on in the N.Y. Subway System.
