How GO Transit fares work

GO Transit fares are distance-based. The price is the same for every rider of a given category between a given pair of stations, regardless of which specific train you take. Rail Six looks up the official Metrolinx fare table for the exact pair you pick, rather than estimating from distance.

Fares come in four rider categories — Adult, Student, Senior, and Child — and two payment types: Presto (the GTHA-wide contactless card) and paper e-tickets. Presto fares are lower than paper fares, and children 12 and under ride free when accompanied by a paying adult.

Fare FAQ

Where does Rail Six get its GO Transit fare data?
Fares come directly from the Metrolinx fare API, which returns the official price for any two-station trip in Adult, Student, Senior, and Child categories for both Presto and paper tickets. Data refreshes every 15 minutes.
What is the difference between Presto and paper fares?
Presto is the GTHA-wide contactless transit card; paper tickets are single-use. Presto usually costs 10–15% less than a paper single ride. It also earns GO’s monthly discount: fares drop after 35 trips in a calendar month, and trips after 40 are free.
Are children free on GO Transit?
Yes. Children aged 12 and under ride free when accompanied by a paying adult. The Child category in the fare table exists for unaccompanied children on a dedicated fare.
Is there a day pass for GO Transit?
Yes. The day pass costs the same as two paper single rides between the same pair of stations, giving unlimited travel on that corridor for the day. It’s worth it when you know you’ll make three or more one-way trips in a day.
How does the Presto loyalty discount work on GO?
GO’s Presto discount resets on the first of each month. Adults pay the regular Presto fare for trips 1–35, a much lower fare for trips 36–40, and no fare from trip 41. For youth and post-secondary students the lower fare starts at trip 31. Seniors pay one discounted rate all month. Use the same card every time; if you take different trips, the discount depends on the total value of that month’s travel.
