Re: Asking too much? Renting in Pickering / Ajax/ Whitby
Depending on where you live, the local bus service might be good enough to get you to and from the nearest GO station. I certainly used to use Oakville Transit to get to / from Bronte GO. Yes it'll take longer than driving, but it can be done.
I've only used Lakeshore West GO line, so I'm not completely positive on the service level of Lakeshore East GO, which I presume is the line that'd be used, but I thought it was on the same level as Lakeshore West.

Having fallen asleep, alcohol assisted, on the Lakeshore GO train numerous times I can advise that it goes to Oakville, then to Pickering, then to a siding in Etobicoke. There's no difference in service east or west because it's the same train.

In Pickering the local bus service manages to get many to the GO TRAIN in time for the various morning trains and then home from TRAIN in the evening.
