I got this email from GO transit:
I don't have a problem with UFC getting extra trains, but why not us? After 4 years of excuses why GO couldn't provide us with extra trains (too crowded tracks, they can't control the schedule), now I see this. This makes me upset.On Saturday April 30th as UFC fans celebrate the first event of its kind in Ontario, GO Transit wants you to jump on our bandwagon to participate in the excitement.
Lakeshore East riders that plan on attending the UFC Fan Expo at the Direct Energy Centre will have the option of getting on 2 extra trains departing Oshawa at 11:41 and 13:41 that will continue on to Exhibition GO Station in addition to regularly scheduled service.
For those enjoying fight night at the Rogers Centre you can now leave the worry of getting home after the event to us as we will operate two extra trains on our Lakeshore line, one to Aldershot and one to Oshawa, both scheduled to depart Union 30 minutes after the evening event ends.
We hope you enjoy your evening and have a safe ride home with GO Transit.
If ML$E are so concerned about attendance this year, they could do something about it!
