GO Transit is celebrating 50 years of its iconic green buses serving Ontarians. Over the last five decades, the company has changed significantly--when it was first founded in the 1970’s, it was an on-demand service that would pick you up right from your front door. But GO Transit isn't the only thing to have changed a lot during this span of time; from 1971 to 1976 Ontario's population rose from 7.7 million people to 8.2 million people.... To put these numbers in perspective, in 2016, the city of Toronto's population alone was listed at more than 2.7 million people according to Statistics Canada--nearly a third of the entire population of Ontario in 1971. Considering the population boom that was happening at the time, GO Transit began experimenting with an on-demand transportation service that took customers from their home to select subway stations and plazas.
