Carpooling?
I'm commuting from Mississauga on a daily basis and on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, I have a Bio 1M03 class at 8:30 AM (C03).
While I'm begging to get that changed, I was wondering if anybody else with early morning classes was interested in forming a carpool.
(We'd be happy to pay)

Is anyone from Mississauga with 8:30 classes interested in commuting? We're prepared to pay.
Or, if not, can anybody commuting from Mississauga tell me how they get to their GO Bus station for 8:30 classes?
My present problem would be resolved as follows:
Bus from Square One at 7:00 AM
Must be at Square One by 6:45 AM
Catch the Mississauga Transit at 5:45 AM. Wake up at 5:00 AM.
Any shorter commute ideas would be appreciated greatly

Just wondering, why are you planning to take the bus from sq 1 so early at 7:00 for 8:30 classes? If you take the bus at 7:37, that would reach mac at 8:20, which I think is fine for 8:30 classes.
Heres the complete schedule:

I'm just curious, do you plan on taking the 47A (express) or the 47? |

I would like to take the express but I learned the other day that they're not always reliable. In case expresses buses don't show up (even if they are scheduled to), the regular ones (47) do.
I know that in traffic and in winter, the buses might be delayed 10 or 15 minutes (or may just be late) and I don't want to rub my profs the wrong way and/or miss any part of a lecture

Where did you hear this?
I've taken the 47A for 2 years on fridays to go home and frequently on Mondays or Tuesdays to return to school in the morning and not had a problem.

I felt the same way at first, it gets easier once you get used to it. |
