It’s back-to-school season for the area’s post-secondary students. With so much on their minds — studying, living on their own, social lives — isn’t it great to know that figuring out how to get to and from school is a no-brainer.
That’s because GO Transit is the smart solution for all your back-to-school transit needs — and post-secondary students can save 40 per cent on the full-standard adult fare.

GO Transit services the areas near the majority of post-secondary schools, including Brock University, Centennial College’s Progress Campus, Durham College, George Brown College, McMaster University, Niagara College’s Niagara-on-the-Lake campus, OCAD, OISE, Ontario Tech University, Sheridan College’s Trafalgar Road Campus, Toronto Metropolitan University, Trent University, the University of Guelph, the University of Toronto’s St. George Campus, the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, and York University.

Commuting to and from school on GO Transit is the sensible way to make the most of your time. Rain or shine, you’ll be comfortable.
And with GO Wi-Fi Plus available on buses and trains, you can use your time to get ahead of course work, listen to that audiobook on your course’s reading list, and catch up with your friends and family on social media.
Or unwind after a long day and enjoy some of the latest blockbuster movies and hit TV shows, commercial-free.
GO Transit let’s you stay connected on your journey, whether it’s for work or for play.
GO Transit isn’t just a smart way to get back and forth from school, but it can also be used for many of your personal trips as well. Shopping, visiting friends and family, or just exploring the area — GO Transit is the convenient and reliable way to get out and about for less.
And that’s not all the savings you’ll enjoy. PRESTO card holders are also eligible for PRESTO Perks — discounts at entertainment venues, activities, and restaurants in the Greater Toronto/Golden Horseshoe area.
As well, Ontario’s One Fare  allows transit riders to pay a single fare when connecting between transit systems like the TTC, GO Transit, Brampton Transit, and more.
The program offers free transfers reducing costs and making travel more convenient across Ontario’s various transit networks.
So whether you want to save money getting to Sheridan, spend less to get to Laurier, use fewer CAD getting to OCAD — basically getting anywhere you want to go for 40 per cent off the standard adult fare — then GO Transit with a student PRESTO is the smart solution for your post-secondary travel needs.
