As someone who takes more public transit than anyone I've ever met, this is a very welcome addition to the city.

I travel 2 hours to work, and 2 hours from work daily. HSR > GO > TTC.
I've been doing so for over 7 years.
I work off peak hours, so the 16 Express GO is my only option to leave the city. The 18 > Aldershot > Train to TO is just stupid. The bus is direct and almost alway faster.

In a perfect world, I'd hop on the train on James North, go to Toronto, continue on until Scarborough, then take the TTC up McCowan to work. Less vehicle changes, less hassles overall.

I'm more curious to know how the new James North GO Station, and Hamilton GO Centre will co-exist. The bus bays at the new station...will they replace some of the busses now at Hunter? Will a train still go to the Hunter station even with the James station now taking trains? Curious to know how the HSR will handle this new transit hub and how quick/easy it will be to get there from the Gore Park area.

Believe it or not, many people outside the city think there is no GO service at all to Hamilton most of the day! I tell them, yes there is an express all-day bus to Hamilton. They only thought it was accessible by train in the am and pm rush hours.
I think the train would bring more people to the city who might not currently know about GO's destinations.

Just to have all-day service by train is a huge step forward.

I'm excited to see how the area will bloom. I'm positive there will be a large spike in development.

And who knows, Metro daily might one day be delivered to Hamilton!
