You can take the Go Train to Hamilton Station or Aldershot Station and then bus from there. (Aldershot has a Go bus that goes to McMaster, Hamilton has the HSR that goes to McMaster)

Another option is to take the QEW express Go bus from Union Station which stops at Colombia college, then it's like a 10-15minute walk to McMaster.

I haven't heard of GO busses being at either location. I'm 100% sure there isn't one at Scarborough Town Centre
I'd recommend using the GO bus website:

http://www.gotransit.com/publicroot/...sschedule.aspx and play around to find what works for you...

An alternative is you can take the Subway (TTC) to Union Station from Scarborough Town centre, then take the GO bus...

Are you anywhere near the Scarborough GO centre?

There's a Lakeshore East train that will take you to Toronto Union Station, and then a Lakeshore West train to Aldershot GO station. At Aldershot you will then take a bus to McMaster.

On weekdays, there are certain times where the train will take you straight to Hamilton GO Station, but that's only in the afternoon.

You can also contact Compass! They're the on-campus service responsible for information on campus and sell GO Transit tickets/passes.

You can email them at [email protected] ca

There's a go station at Yonge-Sheppard. So if you can get there, you can take the shuttle bus that goes straight to Mcmaster.
