So do you think it's all day GO transit that makes Burlington/Oakville into "bedroom communities" for Toronto, or is it other factors (i.e. their proximity, their large swaths of suburban homes, relatively "new" cities, low property taxes by virtue of having such new infrastructure, and good highway connections?

I also wonder whether the lack of sports teams, large concert venues and sports venues, and post secondary institutions compared to Toronto might also contribute to the integration of those communities with Toronto.

I don't think the lack of all day GO train service is what is holding Hamilton back - it just isn't.

While we have a feasibility study that tells us LRT IS WORTH BUILDING I haven't seen anything about the costs and benefits of all day GO service, and what its predicted benefits, if any, will be.
