Coach Canada, you can get tickets at Compass.

Go bus finally has a service that goes through KW but you'd have to get to square one first and then transfer. Coach Canada is your best bet and the pick-up spot is right in front of Mac.

Coach Canada takes you to the bus station in Kitchener. From there take the #7 bus and it will take you to Waterloo. Get off at Laurier, and walk down University Avenue (left of the bus) and you'll reach University of Waterloo in 5 minutes.

Either that, or get off at uptown waterloo and take the iExpress straight to 'loo

Alternatively, you could take the Go bus from square one and then take another Go bus from there to U Waterloo...but that'll take forever.

Isn't there a GO Bus straight from Square One to Waterloo? I think it's Number 25. I believe I saw it the other day...

There is, but as Brit said above, it seems to take a while. It's cheaper ($27.50 now, but will be $28 starting Mar 20), but you'd be going in a bit of a circle since Square One is a while way east of Waterloo. It takes about 45 minutes to get to Square One from Mac, but something like 2 hours ish to get to Waterloo from Square One, whereas Coach takes a little over an hour to get from Mac to Waterloo directly.
