We need to pilot seasonal weekend GO service to Muskoka
The tracks are there. (Metrolinx then CNR then ONR)
The stations are there. (Washago, Gravenhurst, Bracebridge, Huntsville)
The precedent is there (MBTA Cape Flyer to Cape Cod).
The business case is there. (Cape Flyer is profitable, Hwy 400/11 is jammed)
The demand is there (evidenced by New York Times travel section articles).
The Northlander is not there (too expensive, wrong timing).
In an era where we spend $34B on short subway lines, this is at least worth a shot. Try a pilot next year and see.
