Cj, speaking of go train parking lot annoyances.....please tell me if I'm being overly sensitive. Every morning I arrive at the Oshawa go lot at around 0530. Every morning I see the same 2 cars pull in, 1 parks while he other one waits. After parking, a woman gets out of her car and jumps into the waiting car, as it proceeds to drive out of the lot. That irks me that people are using this lot as a free public parking lot. I've had to ride later trains in the winter months where there has been no parking available!! Aka the great 1.5 parking space rule that idiots seem to abide by when the lane markings are not clear. Anyway, am I being too critical?

Oh hell no. In fact, see if u can get the plates as I am sure this this goes against go's parking bylaws and isn't fair to you (or any one of us fare-paying GO customers)

Well I think they probably just drop the car off during the day and then pick it up after work. But they are not using the go, just the spot that u and I pay for with our ticket fees. It's just frustrating because sometimes finding legal parking at the Oshawa go is impossible after 9am in the winter. Anyway, I'll def report it next time I see them. Thanks again! Great site btw. I read it religiously. Lol

Good. Because sometime during the day, GO will send someone to ticket the car. I will make it so.
I don't really have that kind of power but I suspect that by throwing this up here, it may raise a flag.

The same goes for the employees of the Chrysler dealership in Oshawa, they park in the Go Train lot as well which is also wrong on so many levels!
I've seen the same thing happen at the southeast Whitby GO parking lot. The northeast one is technically a carpool lot, though.
GO should just charge for parking to cover the cost of maintaing the lots (which is significant). Plus, it would encourage more people to get there by bus/bike/feet.
(I know some people have to drive - but if everyone else didn't drive, it would benefit those people who have to).
It's also possible that the person that gets in the car parks there because he/she takes the train home in the evening? If that isn't the case, then I say ticket/tow whatever, IF it is not a carpool lot.
they would have to catch them in the act, which wont happen.
