MEDIA ADVISORY
(Newmarket-Aurora) Newmarket-Aurora MPP Frank Klees:
GO Transit Service Update March 17, 2010
By now, you will no doubt have seen the attached news release announcing what I trust you will agree represents a significant win for us in our efforts to secure a resolution to the changes initially announced by GO Transit.
THE ATTACHED RELEASE REPLACES AN EARLIER RELEASE ISSUED BY YRT WHICH CONTAINED INCOMPLETE INFORMATION.
While this is not a perfect solution, and will mean adjusting to some changes, it does represent a significant improvement over what was originally contemplated by both GO Transit and YRT.
In addition to the extension of GO service to the end of June, the scheduling changes that will improve travel time and the assurance that the York University service from Newmarket through Aurora, King and Maple will be continued, I am pleased that YRT has also agreed to offer a loyalty incentive of 2 free monthly passes to existing GO monthly pass holders of the 62-Newmarket B Service.
I will continue to monitor the developments, and invite you to provide me with your input as the transition of services takes place.
