Mari Justo just can’t make a mistake in the morning.

If she misses the 7 a.m. GO train from St. Catharines, she’ll miss an hour of work at her job in Toronto.

The next train she can take leaves from the Burlington GO Station, a long drive from her home in Port Colborne, Ont.

When Metrolinx announced it suspended GO train services between Niagara Falls GO and Confederation GO for a little over a week due to the March 30th freight train derailment in St. Catharines, her commute was a long and arduous journey every day.

Her next option isn’t any better: the Fairview Mall GO bus in St. Catharines takes about three hours, arriving after 10 a.m. She’s says she’s even worried about leaving her car at the mall where, according to the GO website, “free customer parking is not available.”

And the last weekday trains home leave Toronto at 5 p.m. or 10 p.m., either too early to work a full eight-hour shift or way too late.
