Take Advantage of Cheap Transportation – Public Transit Deals

There is nothing worse than searching for a parking spot or paying ridiculous prices, I paid $35 at Ontario Place for a concert and cried! Use GO Transit to get to the Exhibition, and kids under 12 years old are FREE, and parents can grab affordable tickets. If travelling on the weekend then grab a day pass for $10 unlimited all day travel.

During week days family passes are available for all-day travel at $30 for two people, $40 for three people, $50 for four people and $60 for five people, but remember kids under 12 are FREE so you only need to buy for adults!
