Another GO blogger ... yes, hold your breath, we're multiplying ... has shared her experience with the "Let GO Know" survey initiative online.
I don't know if any of you have signed up for the panel but I encourage you to do so. When I did mine, I didn't think to share how it went as I did it somewhat absent-minded, but I also got as equally excited over the Quiet Car bits.
The full post is here. While you're there, take a moment to comment and welcome her aboard. She's taken a slightly different approach to her experience on the "GO" than I and is still new at it, but I'm thinking she'll do fine. Enjoy.

You created an alter-ego! man, you're so smart. I am in awe of your brilliance CJ!!!
Don't you turkeys sleep? No, this not my Hulk to my Robert Bruce Banner.
That would be cool but she's a real, different person.
I had two espressos at 8pm Hannah. How many did you have LOL
I couldn't sleep either. And I didn't have espresso. Thanks for the shout out CJ! I love your blog. Now I just need to find your post that tells me how to make my camera shutter silent, cuz I've missed a lot of opportunities. Happy riding everyone!
I'll help with this one. Dial your voicemail. As you hear the voice prompt, click on your camera button. You have about 10 seconds, or so I'm told and from personal experience, to take pictures without the shutter noise appearing and thus ousting you that you're taking a pic of some asshat culprit.
Happy snapping :)
I can't understand people who complain that people bring luggage onto the train and then complain when GO suggests adding luggage space to fix that problem.
GO is NOT just a commuter service. If it was, it wouldn't run off-peak trains or buses. Their stated mission involves providing service for all inter-regional trips, not just commuters.

Seperate note: I don't want a quiet car. I want all passengers to act with respect, and not be excessivly noisy, regardless of which car they are in. Otherwise, I forsee me getting on a train, politely asking the person beside me to turn down their music, and then being told that peace and quiet is only for people in the quiet car.
I agree with Tom on the quiet car issue. Unfortunately I don't see people acting with respect all the time and keeping it down regardless of where they are. Maybe they should designate a noisy car instead.
I like D.F.'s idea. Make the whole train quiet except for a car or two. In reality, most people are pretty quiet. Its just a handful of rowdies that creates the problems.
@ GOTransitBitch.
I tried commenting on your site and can't figure it out :(
She has name/anonymous disabled. You need a google account. I'm too lazy. But I love the site so far.
GRRRRR, I can't possibly follow another blog but I do love someone who loves to bitch!!! On the idea of prizes for doing surveys, I love her idea on a year of free commuting. Really though, wouldn't it be a great PR move for GO to give away saaaay 5 free monthly passes each month to either pass or Presto card holders? A girl can dream.
I for one would welcome an asshat-only car. Or 7.
Problem is they lack the self-knowledge to recognize such things. A blessing and a curse, I suppose.
OK. OK. I enabled Anonymous commenting. I know this is going to end in disaster...there's always some douche that has to hide behind the anonymous shield to make an offensive comment. I suppose that's why there's a delete button.
And thanks, Flynnigan, for the tip.
Rather than quiet cars, let's go old-fashioned: make each quad a separet compartment. Just put glass walls between the seats backs and beside the aisle seats, and add a door. Then, you can't hear those nosiy people at the other end of the coach.
(Plus, people wouldn't leave their bags in the aisle)
