“It’s super convenient. I like how the station is set up that you can park on cold days, wait in your car out of the wind, and get out when the bus is coming. Signage at the station could be better. People miss the turn to get into the lot and stay straight on the roadway and wind up in the bus loop. I didn’t have a problem but that was probably because I walked it when it was being constructed. I get home faster than had I driven to Oshawa!” – GO passenger and transit advocate, CJ Smith.
