How would it affect you if GO Transit went on strike?
Manisha Kumar
Second year, history
“I simply can’t get to school if they go on strike. It already takes an hour and a half to get to school, so it would probably take me more than two hours to get here otherwise.”
Erika Nowlan
Fourth year, english and french
“I wouldn’t be able to come to school at all. I would have to find a ride if I can.”
Vinorth Sith
First year, political science
“It would be a very bad inconvenience because I’ll probably have to walk to school. Or I would have to take the VIVA, and it’s always packed. The GO bus is way better, [it takes] 45 minutes and is right outside my house.”
Sara Yong
First year, design
“It would be very inconvenient because I take the GO Transit to work and sometimes home. I’m in the design program at Sheridan, and I don’t even know how to get there without the GO bus. It would probably add hours to my route.”
Ashley Knight
Fourth year, nursing
“It takes me an hour and a half to get here by GO Transit and I don’t drive. There’s no other way for me to get from my area of the GTA to here without the GO bus. If they do go on strike, then I would have to cab here or find a carpool, and that’s just not feasible on a student budget.”
