nnect residents with the GO station. But the second goal is important as well: to demonstrate the need for transit access from the TTC.

The idea is to sell memberships for the proposed service, which would thus be a public/private hybrid. Membership would be open to neighbourhood residents, but the shuttle wouldn't be available on a per-ride basis.
You may remember a few years ago when Liberty Village attempted to create its own transit route. The route was ultimately shut down for violating city rules pertaining to the TTC's status as the city's transit provider.
The PLIA ensures that this won't happen with their new service because it's not selling individual ride tickets, which organizers believe is permitted under current city regulations.
If funding attempts are successful, the service will begin operation later this year. As of today, the group has raised $400, though the campaign has only just launched.
