What happened
A city councillor stated that Brantford requires expanded GO Transit service to accommodate its rapid population growth. The proposed expansion includes establishing a GO Train service to Aldershot GO Station in Burlington and introducing express GO Bus service between Brantford and Aldershot during peak times. The councillor noted that this expansion would improve connectivity between homes, jobs, and schools in Southwest Ontario.

Why it matters
