Metrolinx, an Ontario government agency that oversees public transport in the southern part of the province, is now setting targets for the number of fines that inspectors collectively issue to GO train riders each month for not paying their fares. CBC News obtained internal records that show a breakdown of the target number of inspections and notices of violation the agency wants customer protection officers and revenue protection officers to handle — and how many were actually completed and issued — on each of its eight regional train lines. Notices of violation are fines issued by GO Transit to passengers who fail to provide proof of payment when requested. In October 2022, Metrolinx implemented a graduated fee structure for those fines, so that first-time offenders are now fined $35, second-time offenders receive a $50 ticket and anyone with three offences faces a $100 fine.

CP agreed to drop its long-standing objection to passenger service on this freight line only after 1979’s Mississauga Train Derailment (North America’s largest peacetime evacuation until Hurricane Katrina). Today about ten GO trains ply these rails to Milton each weekday along with many more freight movements throughout the average week. • • • #igerstoronto #toronto #ontario #canada #etobicoke #bridge #cprail #gotransit #humberriver #oldcityofyork #railbridge #metrolinx #humbervalley #torontophotography #urban_toronto (at Lambton Woods) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp1JRpXt_4P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Metrolinx says there will be no GO bus service on Monday if thousands of transit workers go on strike.
“Our members have made it utterly clear. We will not accept a deal unless it addresses our primary concern, which is contracting out,” ATU Local 1587 president Rob Cormier said in a statement.
“These basic protections against contracting out are the norm at every other transit agency in our region to ensure that experienced, workers are on the job to ensure the safety of the buses. Without these protections, Metrolinx can contract to outside companies.”
Speaking to CP24 Friday afternoon, Cormier said he is still optimistic that the strike could be averted. He noted the union has booked a hotel, hoping to get a new contract with Metrolinx this weekend.
“We plan to work all weekend. We want to get a deal for our members. Our last resort is to go on strike,” Cormier said.
They have been without a contract since June. While the transit agency and the union had met months before the agreement expired, they failed to produce a new deal, leading to union members voting in favour of a strike mandate in August.
Happy Summer TGIF!
