It's a shame GO didn't install more secure bike lockers (like these in TO) instead of just placing a bike rack in a bus shelter.

It's tough, I know. Heck, I lock my front tire when I put my bike on the bus rack, as I worry about a guy running up at a red light and grabbing my bike. I agree, GO Centre should have a more secure site to lock bikes. Isn't there a rack on the bus platform? I'll confirm tomorrow. I would think it's more secure than the ones that front Hunter.
Unfortunately, I don't think the bike lockers are really an answer as their form factor limit the number offered. As you see most sites have only 3 to 6 lockers available. The most I've seen is at Metro Hall and I think there are 8 or 10 (I'll double check tomorrow).
