Is the GO bus creating better matches than Tinder and Hinge?

It certainly seems that way these days.

After a recent story on a couple who credit GO bus leading them to their happily ever after, another couple – the second in the span of a month, have reached out to share their love connection.

Daniel and Amanda started off as two commuters taking the same Route 40 Hamilton/Richmond Hill Bus two to three days a week.

“We would smile at each other and as months passed, we started to say ‘hi’ and wished each other a good day,” recalls Daniel.

One day Daniel got on before Amanda and noticed the bus was packed. As she approached him, he moved his bag and offered her the seat next to him.

A nice gesture, and perhaps the most important one he’d make.

They chatted the entire commute and that’s when their friendship began.

The two share a love for R&B from 90’s & early 2000s and would listen to artists like Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey.

It turns out a friendship would not be the ‘End of The Road’ for the two and carpooling while singing ‘We Belong Together’ would soon take a literal meaning.

A year of friendship evolved into dating and now, three years later, they’re engaged.

To mark the occasion, the pair decided to take their engagement photos at the place where it all began, with the vehicle that first brought them together.

When they reached out to Metrolinx about their moving love story, GO transit’s bus operations team decided to make their shoot even more special.

“It’s pretty funny, we found love on the GO,” says Daniel. “If it wasn’t for that GO bus, we wouldn’t have chatted and develop the relationship we have now.”

The couple plan on tying the knot next June in Richmond Hill.
