Fare FAQ
- How much is a single GO train ride from Union Station to Pickering?
- Rail Six couldn’t load the live fare right now. Try again in a minute, or check the GO Transit website for the official price.
- Is a day pass cheaper than two singles?
- No. The day pass matches the price of two paper single rides on the same corridor, and two Presto single rides cost less than that. A day pass only pays off from the third trip of the day onward.
- What’s the cheapest way to travel from Union Station to Pickering?
- Presto always costs less than paper. Repeat the trip and GO’s monthly discount applies: adults pay the regular Presto fare for trips 1–35, a much lower fare for trips 36–40, and no fare from trip 41 until the month resets. For youth and post-secondary students the lower fare starts at trip 31. Seniors pay one discounted rate all month.
- Do children ride free?
- Yes. Children 12 and under travel free with a paying adult. The Child category fares are for unaccompanied children.
- How is the Union Station to Pickering fare calculated?
- GO Transit prices by distance between the origin and destination stop. Zones and the number of vehicles your trip involves make no difference, so the Union Station to Pickering amount is fixed for the stop pair, and it holds at every time of day.
- Do I need to tap off at Pickering?
- With Presto, tap on at Union Station and off at Pickering. Missing the tap off charges you the maximum fare for that trip. You can skip the tap off when this train trip is set as the default trip on your card. Paper tickets and e-tickets need no taps.
- Is the fare the same from Pickering back to Union Station?
- Yes. GO fares are symmetric, so the return leg costs the same as the outbound one. The live Pickering to Union Station page shows the same amounts.
