Thank You for this. My wife and I have never taken a GO train before and we were nervous because we knew it was a different system than what we are used to.
I used to live in Clarkson & worked in downtown Toronto. I took the very first GO Train when the service started & continued to commute via GO until I moved out of Mississauga in 1975. From Union Stn., it was only a 10 min. walk to my office.
Very detailed guide & ride! Never been on a Go train before, always driving a car. Planning on taking a trip on Go soon, so thanks for a detailed video showing everything inside out! 👌
How often do the train goes from Clarkson station to union station and come back? We would like to take to him to the aquarium To avoid driving and parking nightmare.
Since i dont sleep when i travel, i always bring a book to read Or my sketchpad on hand. Also i have my meditation music on so IM relax and dont look at the strangers in front of me....IM the type of person who liked looking at sceneries, i have this game in my mind when i see some bldg s Or home i get entertained and calm.
Why don't Google map show "One Direct Bus" or Train for Mississauga to Toronto Scarborough or Toronto to Mississauga According to Google I have to change aleast 3 to 4 buses
I used to use Long Branch GO regularly but until it becomes accessible, I can't anymore since I now use a walker. The only way to the tracks is by stairs. So if I want to go downtown, I use Dixie GO (trains only run into Union in the morning though).
I use to take this train to work 20 years ago. It hasn’t changed at all!!! So slow & still no passengers except during rush hour! Live in a major European city now & public transit is all I use. Don’t even own a car anymore.
Oh that’s not true It is so busy, I’m guessing it wasn’t busy for them cuz it was 10 in the morning and they were heading away from Toronto while most people are heading towards Toronto Also in about 10 years and 18 billion dollars later, the train is going to be a lot more faster
Hey Johnny. Thanks for the Go Train trio and a look at the new union station I haven’t been there. In years like you I grew up in Mississauga Mavis Rd and Queensway area And remember many trip to baseball games CNE and concerts Love eating how things change eh. Just. Amazing. I remember Michelle back door too My fr used to work with Lina Anyway. Happy Easter. To you best wishes. Lisa
personally my biggest issue with GO transit is the interior design. The seats are way too close and facing each other. It can be quite awkward sitting face-to-face with a stranger. It is also hard to get work done on the train because there are no foldable tables (since the chairs are facing each other) - which is usually a big perks to taking the train. Really hope they change this with the newer cab cars, since everything else about it is super nice
Hey man, love the thing you are doing and also your content, do you use a chest mount or do u just hold the dji camera with the gimbal with ur hands while shooting the video? , you just encouraged me to buy a camera and start making walking videos, really appreciate your consistency on making these videos.
Dear Mr. Johnny Strides... It's an owl... It's moose.... it's a Canadian creature called a Twoonie... No!... It's Johnny Strides and he is taking a train ride.... Johnny is Toronto's Vlogger.... After boarding the train in the far-off land of Somewhere Canada... In the great city of Tall Glass Skyscrapers... The train soon got rolling in the direction of another Place, somewhere in Canada.... Mississauga... The land is famously known for wolverines, small, but ferocious creatures, and not very good house pets... If you attempt to teach a wolverine you might want to consider adopting a nice poodle.... Poodles don't eat furniture... Poodle won't eat your scooter.... Poodles don't wrestle polar bears for breakfast and for lunch eat Smackdown Members.... OH!... The vlog... Sorry, Johnny, I am very busy running away from a ferocious wolverine.... the end.... Always in Good Taste... CHEERS!... Be Supportive and Subscribe... PS. Johnny, get any suggestions on how to escape a hungry Canadian wolverine....?
Unless Google is lying to me a train trip from Niagara Falls to Toronto is 3 hours 44 minutes and driving takes an hour and a half. Driving wins again!
You can try and find a Union Station map or bring up a map on your phone And there’s a service counter place so if u can find that then u can ask them for directions, or just ask most people! Most people would gladly help
The thinking aloud is annoying. Narration of videos needs to add to the viewing experience. Tell the viewer things the picture doesn't. Add detail. Add information that enhances the watching experience. That means doing homework & not wandering around Union Station like a lost sheep. Put yourself in the viewer's shoes & you should come up with a presentation that folks want to watch🇨🇦🏴🇺🇦
Hi Johnny , Nice relaxing train ride. 🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆 I wish That the New York City MTA would make something like the Presto Card for the OMNY tap and go system. I will not use a phone , ATM or Credit Card to pay for a ride with all the craziness going on in the N.Y. Subway System.

This will look so very different in 10 years.
$18B contract just awarded to expand and electrify.
Very detailed guide & ride! Never been on a Go train before, always driving a car. Planning on taking a trip on Go soon, so thanks for a detailed video showing everything inside out! 👌
Me neither but I’ve been on the West Coast Express which is very similar to the GO Train but it’s in BC
I find the signage at Union could be improved, especially since there are now 2 concourses with many departure platforms.
The wayfinding is still atrocious indeed.
If you go there everyday it just becomes normal.
Doesn’t help that it’s been a construction zone for over 10 years
Don’t disagree. It’s a bit of a mess but it’s better than what it was.
The sign finding is an adventure
Hey, wonderful video. I can't drive so I've always been driven but now I'm planning to ride GO. Also the little 'tour' of union was cool
You are welcome!
I have always wanted to ride one of these, thanks for this Johnny..
You should! It’s amazing
Toronto has the best public transit in NA. GO train just looks modern and so spacious.
I love Go trains....thanks for sharing!
Me too. I also like that there are enough bathrooms on board to use.
I enjoyed the train ride Johnny. Thanks for showing
Now take it to Niagara Falls. Gorgeous trip
Used to commute on GO train from Hamilton. Really enjoy this one, thx Johnny :)
Love GO Transit! Very well put and informative video. Can you do Toronto to Oshawa?
How often do the train goes from Clarkson station to union station and come back? We would like to take to him to the aquarium To avoid driving and parking nightmare.
Wow, it was so easy to pay using your phone like that! Looking forward to that option being available in more places.
I spent a few yrs at Clarkson working beside the mainline switching the Petro Canada plant.
Thank you Johnny for the trip. Stay safe 👍💕
Thanks for the ride.
The chairs on those coaches look pretty comfortable although it would be so awkward sitting opposite of someone I didn't know.
It’s good when you’re travelling as a group. And yes, the seats are very comfy.
With public transportation that’s inevitable
Awkward yes. Also irritating, obnoxious and gross. People are disgusting especially when they fall asleep and fart and snore and drool.
Since i dont sleep when i travel, i always bring a book to read Or my sketchpad on hand. Also i have my meditation music on so IM relax and dont look at the strangers in front of me....IM the type of person who liked looking at sceneries, i have this game in my mind when i see some bldg s Or home i get entertained and calm.
I really enjoy watching awesome videos, regards.
Nice Video Johnny! Enjoyed watching this!
Why don't Google map show "One Direct Bus" or Train for Mississauga to Toronto Scarborough
or Toronto to Mississauga
According to Google I have to change aleast 3 to 4 buses
The service is good, when you’re able to sit calmly without being disturbed.
How it shud be
I used to use Long Branch GO regularly but until it becomes accessible, I can't anymore since I now use a walker. The only way to the tracks is by stairs.
So if I want to go downtown, I use Dixie GO (trains only run into Union in the morning though).
Is there any " bus or train pass/card" for traveling Mississauga to Toronto
Or Toronto to Mississauga
On GO and local transits (in the case of MIssissauga/Toronto - Miway/TTC)
I use to take this train to work 20 years ago. It hasn’t changed at all!!! So slow & still no passengers except during rush hour! Live in a major European city now & public transit is all I use. Don’t even own a car anymore.

Also in about 10 years and 18 billion dollars later, the train is going to be a lot more faster
Are there any trains that go to the Falls from Toronto ?
yep!
Yup! Not most trains and not every day but if u plan right then yeah

I can use this video for instructions to travel to visit my cousin
love your videos!! by the time I take go train along the first time the Sephora is opened haha
Nice Train Ride!!
Used 2x only. Union to port credit and back
Jesus bless all yes
When I was very little I lived in Mississauga
Wonderful place
Muy lindo el lugar un saludo de un nuevo suscriptor y también de Samuel y Audrey.
wow you said you were going to walk from Clarkson Go to Port Credit Go? thats 6.5km, quite a walk
That's not a long walk--6 5 km. It's just that in the suburbs, it feels longer because it's so pedestrian unfriendly .
Is there any " bus or train pass/card" for traveling Mississauga to Toronto
Or Toronto to Mississauga
When is the last time you did a Beaches Boardwalk video, Johnny? The weather would be great for that these days!
Hey I think I saw you at Clarkson go
lol
Didn't you say platform 6??
I like to tide go Transit so relax .
Can you do a euro trip and take your camera?
Why train is almost empty?
18:43 omg the subtitles!
“Please don’t clear the doors, the doors are closing”
That’s horrifying
The chime is good tho
Some go trains and some via trains
Happy eastern
Hey Johnny where I can get a presto card when I land in canada 🇨🇦, I would I get one in person airport?
There should be Presto machines there I think.. if not you can buy a one way ticket on the UP Express and then get a Presto at Union.
Noted I will still ask around
Hey man, love the thing you are doing and also your content, do you use a chest mount or do u just hold the dji camera with the gimbal with ur hands while shooting the video? , you just encouraged me to buy a camera and start making walking videos, really appreciate your consistency on making these videos.
I just hold it.. cheers
Great video 📹! Do you still golf ⛳️ Johnny?
I haven't in years :(

the funny thing is i went here before

Okay

Unless Google is lying to me a train trip from Niagara Falls to Toronto is 3 hours 44 minutes and driving takes an hour and a half. Driving wins again!
It is if you go 250kmh 🤷♀️
Driving wins but during rush hour..it'll take same amount of time.
Who do you talk to when you're lost??
You can try and find a Union Station map or bring up a map on your phone
And there’s a service counter place so if u can find that then u can ask them for directions, or just ask most people! Most people would gladly help
