How much you wanna bet that the optimum route to do a diversion of freight to enhance the GO passenger rail system will turn out to be the exact same diversion that the Wynne Liberals going to do that Doug Ford cancelled as soon as he was elected?

Is GO parking free anywhere else?
I would expect that Breslau GO will have a large free lot when/if it's ever built.
The change from commuter rail to a regional rail system should alleviate/reduce the need for parking. The original intention of GO was for 9-5 commuters, explicitly removing them from the car. With the ongoinging transition to regional rail, full time connectivity with connections to other modes at all hours of the day should reduce the emphasis on park-and-ride.
