- Go Transit trains begin at Union Station in Toronto but they have scheduled stops in Port Credit, Oakville, Burlington, St. Catherines and Niagara Falls.
- The Bike Train starts in Toronto and stops in St. Catherines and Niagara Falls.
- Go Transit has 4 daily departures from Toronto whereas there is only one departure in each direction on the Bike Train.
There are a maximum of 28 bikes permitted on each Go Transit train with the maximum on each car being 4 bikes. Call 416-869-3200 or 1-888-438-6646 for more information.
