47G - New Bus Route Starting Sept 3, 2011?
If you commute from Square One GO to McMaster U and back like I will continue do, one of your biggest complaints is probably the lack of weekend arrangements.

Fear not, there may be a solution to that:

http://www.gotransit.com/publicroot/...rd/Table46.pdf
(scroll down to the bottom page which lists weekend buses)

I'd like someone to confirm that I'm not simply hopelessly deluded...please (I'm in a "ZOMG! ...the things I could do!!!"-phase at the moment). Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I got too excited and confirmed it myself by making imaginary Saturday and Sunday trips on Google Trip planner and yes, it's real and I'm not dreaming.

I just checked the GO site and there it is! There's a saturday schedule now!!

Fantastic news- it was always such a hassle trying to arrange a ride for Saturday exams! However this bus only comes in to Mac at 8:50 am the earliest so if you have an 8:00 or 8:30 exam, you're still pretty much screwed.

No freakn wayyy.

(H) finally theres some consideration for the poor commuters.
With that, they should launch an extra bus just for us commuters on those freaky Fridays with swarms of rez kids going home.
