How GO Transit fares work

GO Transit fares are distance-based. The price you pay is the same for every rider of a given category between a given pair of stations, regardless of which specific train you take. Presto fares are always lower than paper fares, and GO is integrated with the TTC and other GTHA transit agencies for discounted transfers.

Children 12 and under ride free when accompanied by a paying adult. Students (with a valid post-secondary Presto profile), seniors (65+), and children have their own reduced-fare categories shown above.

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 is usually 10–15% cheaper than paper single rides and unlocks a loyalty cap after the 36th trip each month at a steep discount. For anyone riding more than a few times a month, Presto is almost always the better choice.
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 is twice the single-ride fare 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.
What is the Presto loyalty cap?
Once you hit the monthly Presto cap (36th trip for adults, 31st for students), each additional trip drops to a much lower per-trip rate — effectively a heavily discounted monthly pass for frequent commuters. The cap resets on the first of each month. Seniors pay a flat discounted rate on every trip and don’t have a separate cap tier.
