Punctuality is essential and no extra time will be allowed to those arriving late. No candidates will be admitted to an examination room more than 30 minutes after the start of any session.

It's the student's responsibility to be punctual. Don't ever rely on transit schedules.

Why don't you just take the bus that comes before 12:33 to avoid havoc and confusion and panic..especially if you are in first year, because it can kinda be overwhelming writing one of your first exams of university and it's better to get there a little early so you know what's going on.
Well it's your choice really, but that's my 2 cents  |

Absolutely don't rely on GO buses on weekends, especially since its exams all around, there'll be a lot of other student probably who'll be going to mac as well, it'd make the loading time lengthy. So, you'll most likely be late.
I suggest to get here early and calm yourself and prepare for the exam rather than run to make it in there and be too tired and stressed to be able to concentrate properly for some time. You'll want all the time you can get on exam, right?

Just to repeat what's been stated here already  :
It is absolutely crucial you come early and get a chance to get relaxed. The last thing you want is more stress worrying about something you could have easily avoided. |

I took the GO bus on a Saturday a couple weeks ago and it was 11 minutes late!!! So, I suggest you don't rely on the GO bus, and either find another way to get there or take an earlier bus if possible!

In my experience, the GO bus is always a few minutes late, regardless of what time of day it is. I take the 47 to York U and it's never perfectly on time.
