While veterans and Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members can ride GO Transit for free year-round, the complimentary service is enhanced on Remembrance Day. On Nov. 11, CAF members in addition to a companion, along with family members of veterans who have died, can ride the GO train and GO bus for free. CAF members and veterans can also ride the UP Express free of charge. People with this designation will need to show some sort of identification. Metrolinx is reminding veterans and CAF members they can take advantage of the free service on Remembrance Day and throughout the year if they show a permanent Canadian Forces ID card, a CAF veteran service card or a temporary national defence ID card. Family members of veterans who are deceased should have something to identify their relationship as well, such as service papers or an ID card.
