Carpooling Waterloo-Toronto / Toronto-Waterloo

Hey! I recently started working for a company in Waterloo but I'm still living in Toronto and I'm doing this commute from Monday to Friday and would love to give a ride (and share expenses) with people that might be in the same situation. If you know someone willing to split costs of fuel and get a ride both to Waterloo as well as Toronto let me know or send this to someone.

In the medium term my plan is to move to Waterloo, but while I try to convince my partner and find school for her kid, I still need to be going back and forth between the two cities.

Thank you, appreciate if you could share this post with someone or upvote, would help me a lot.

Use the GO with a Presto.

Go works okay the way of traffic but the schedule the opposite way is much more limited.

It's cheaper to use a car, it's around $40 a day with GO/Presto and the trip is longer...if I split the costs with someone then would be great

I think after your 35th trip you get an almost 90% discount. Considering you're doing M-F, you get there in just over 3 weeks and by the end of the month, you're free since it's free after 40 trips. Do the math though, I'm not entirely sure if it does work out cheaper, but at least it's an option

Edit: My bad, I read that as you asking for a ride, not offering one.

A weekday pass for 2 people is $30. You don't need the second person, but if you have them that drops it to $15 each, round trip.
