Commuting Question
I live in Mississauga and I plan on commuting to mac in my first (call it a test run if you will)
I'm just a bit confused as to whether the Trafalgar Go or the Square One Go is a better option??
Thanksss a bunch

i think it comes down to which one is more convenient for u.

One minor issue with the Trafal. bus, is it may be packed with ppl from Sq. one, so seating my be a problem.

I've been commuting from Square One for two years now and I have friends who commute from the Trafalgar stop. I believe there is an express from Oakville straight to Mac and back, but it doesn't run as often as the express from Square One. I hope that helps!

I took the GO bus a lot in my 2nd and 3rd year. Nothing beats the convenience of driving to and from campus though.

There are express buses that leave from Square One that typically leave 5 to 10 minutes before the regular 47 that stops at Trafalgar. This is done to alleviate the seating issue that would otherwise occur.

Along with the express Square One bus, there is also an express bus from Trafalgar to Mac, but it only runs during peak hours.

All times are in the link I provided.
