I don’t know where people got the idea that GO Transit is for rural transportation services. Except the Stouville line, the endpoints of the GO system are large cities with hundreds of thousands of residents. Ottawa has no such satellite cities.

True to a degree. Considering that CN operated a commuter train preceding GO, when there was much less population in cities measured now in 100,000+. At the least, we need provincially funded bus service to satellite communities. The private sector is not going to do this.
