Going off the StatsCan's Commuting Flow Census Subdivisions (2006): Other than Hamilton, Burlington is the place most Hamiltonians work, but as commutes go, Burlington may be too close to Hamilton for a GO train to compel adoption for residents of either community – it's probably easier to drive. So factoring those numbers out of the picture, Hamilton has 21,880 commuters headed west to Oakville, Mississauga, Brampton and Toronto and 4,675 Hamilton-bound commuters from Oakville, Mississauga, Brampton and Toronto. I'd hope that the numbers would have grown since 2006, and they don't take into account recreational ridership (shopping, concerts, sporting events) – or commuters who drive religiously – but the key to justifying GO service extensions is delivering healthy ridership numbers. I hope we're able to maintain all-day service once we eventually get it.
