Bloomington GO

You need to lower your expectations. GO's Richmond Hill line has a lot of CN Freight trains so this line isn't going to receive a lot of service off peak like the Stouffville or Barrie Lines nearby.This station is located on the greenbelt, therefore there won't be any development nearby and which is why it's like a parking garage and a train station had a baby. The unpainted pillars of the parking give it a drab look from inside, but otherwise, lot of glass and natural sunlight along with the view. There is a bike lane on Bloomington Rd, that ends next to the station and bike racks.My main grip is the connectivity, it is understandable that it is peak service only but you can only get to the station by car. This isn't a GO transit problem but you have to question the logic of building another station without connectivity with local transit when Gromley station exists just 5km yonder.If there was a proper bicycle station or secured location then something like an ebike or bikes would close the last mile gap, or Metrolinx should work with YRT to at the very least offer their mobility on request, if not a local route.

One of my biggest nightmares is randomly waking up at this station with barely any money and trying to find my way back home. There are no words to describe this atrocious waste of infrastructure and resources. Even GO Buses supposedly don’t even run at certain times so you’re really stuck here unless you walk to the nearest transit connection which is at…. YONGE STREET!! I hope you packed some hiking gear because you’re gonna need it, unless you are fortunate enough to call for a ride or an uber and to never look back at this mess

This is not a state-of-the-art ACCESSIBLE station as they describe on the website.I can’t believe this place passed LEED requirements when I live less than 5km away yet it is not possible to bike there.Having a tiny bike lane in a 70km/hour street is not accessible. I would like to see whoever gave this place the go ahead to try biking to this sad GO station regularly.

I just found out about this station after watching Not Just Bikes" and honestly

If I was a car, I'd rate this 5/5 hands down. I mean look at the ocean of space there is to park! Its quite literally a concrete funpark! The only thing is...I'm a person...Destroying acres of green land and replacing it with a giant, empty parking lot that is only realistically accessible by car defeats the purpose of commuter transit. Metrolinx is a bit confused but he's got the spirit. Just don't forget to build stuff for people, not my car...

NO SITE MAP for riders?! Not at parking lot entrances or online??!!I went to the station to take an off-peak bus to downtown and arrived 18 minutes earlier. I parked my car but couldn't see any signs to tell me where the bus platform is. There was not a single soul around at mid day to ask. The facility is huge. I ended up missing the bus and had to drive to Lanstaff bus stop to catch the bus.

What was go thinking with this concrete monstrosity in 2021? The station is little more than a huge parking structure all for one platform with almost no actual train service. Solely designed to accommodate cars and cars only. Total waste of 80 mil and design wise it's a century out of date. Whole station had an abandoned feel and I'm not sure if the parking spaces will ever see more than 50pct occupancy for the next few decades. Should've just built more dedicated bike lanes since everyone's rolling around on escooters and ebikes these days.

Came after watching Not Just Bikes. 82.4 Million for 1000+ Parking Spaces. 1 Train Platform, 4 Trains. A very wise way to spend tax payers money in 2021.

Came here after watching the Not Just Bikes video on Youtube that mentions this station. Seems like a complete waste of taxpayer dollars to build an enormous parking garage with no other access besides cars. In eastern Norwalk, CT where I live, I am a 4 minute walk away from a train station that takes me direct to NYC . It has a small lot but the area is dominated by residential development. GO Transit should really be taking notes.

This is a very nice and modern station which just opened to the public in June 2021. I have been here before and can tell you that even though it is far from the nearest public building other than the station building that this station is heavily monitored by security cameras that are closed circuit located throughout the station building and parking lots/structures and staff are usually on site for most of the day (especially in the mornings). Anyways there is plenty of parking at this station in case you were wondering so and trains go southbound towards Union Station in Downtown Toronto in the mornings and northbound returning to Bloomington in the afternoons.
