Quebecor’s discount wireless brand Fizz announced Monday a multi-year partnership with Metrolinx, the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA)’s transportation agency, making Fizz the presenting partner of GO Transit’s express train service.
As part of the collaboration, Fizz’s brand will be featured across the GO network via branded displays in multiple stations and a distinctive Fizz-themed train to celebrate the start of this partnership, said a Fizz press release.
Fizz said it is rapidly expanding its presence in Ontario and having its brand displayed on these highly visible touchpoints will help it to connect with millions of daily commuters across Canada’s largest metropolitan region.
“This partnership represents our most significant transit collaboration in Ontario to date,” said Martin Gendron, general manager of Fizz, in a statement. “GO Transit’s Express Train Service reaches communities we’re actively serving and growing in. We’re excited to partner with an organization that, like us, is focused on making people’s daily lives easier and better connected.”
With more than 100 million passengers annually and major expansion projects underway, Metrolinx plays a vital role in urban mobility within the GTHA, Fizz said.
“Fizz views collaborations with transit partners like Metrolinx as an opportunity to give back to the communities where its members live and commute. The brand has supported sustainable transportation across Canada, bringing its signature colours to several public transit services and active mobility programs nationwide,” Fizz said in its press release.
To mark the launch of this new partnership, GO Transit riders who activate their first Fizz mobile plan using the referral code TRAIN will receive an exclusive welcome gift: $40 off their plan and a bonus 80 GB of free data. The one-time $40 discount will be applied over multiple months if the monthly plan fee is less than $40. The 80 GB bonus is offered as four 20 GB perks. These perks must be activated within 90 days, and each 20 GB perk is valid for 30 days once activated. Perk data does not roll over. This exclusive offer is available for a limited time.
