Wednesdsay May 3, 2000 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER A3 GO Transit expands train service Karen Robbins SPECIAL TO THE BEAVER At 3:25 p.m. Monday, Halton Region Chair Joyce Savoline, Burlington Mayor Rob Maclsaac and GO Transit Chairman Eldred King hopped aboard a GO Train at the Bronte station and rode it to the Burlington station. A week earlier, they would have had to take the bus. The trio's short ride marked the offi cial launch of the extended all-day week day GO train service for the Bronte and Burlington stations. The extended Bronte and Burlington service was part of a $ 1.5-million GO Transit improvement that saw all-day service added to the Lakeshore Line from Burlington to Oshawa during weekdays, as well as adding new trains to Mississauga, Markham and Richmond Hill and adding more rush hour trains. Weekend trains will continue to run between Oakville and Pickering only. With a pricetag of $1.5 million, GO transit was able to extend the all-day Lakeshore line to Burlington as well as adding new trains to Mississauga, Markham and Richmond Hill and adding more rush hour trains. "This is a day that Burlington has waited for, for a very long time," Savoline said. All-day service was extended to the Burlington station in 1992, but because of budget constraints the service was cut back in 1993 to six trains daily during morning and evening rush hours only. King is confident the service will not be cancelled again. "In the last seven years the number of people traveling on our Lakeshore corridor, from Burlington all the way to Oshawa, has increased by 31%, which means we are getting 20,000 more riders a day than in 1993." King went on to say, "The key to this new service is flexibility. Not everyone wm.
