Taking GO Transit will cost you more beginning next February.

The Metrolinx board of directors has approved a GO Transit fare increase to take effect on February 1st.

Metrolinx says the fare increase will help make improvements – such as more parking and more train and bus trips to meet increasing demand.

GO fares vary by distance travelled.

The cost for a  single adult ride when using a paper ticket will increase between 35 cents and 55 cents.

Fares for children, students, seniors and groups are also going up.

The increase will be less for customers who use PRESTO because of loyalty discounts.
