if you're talking about the toronto train, that gets there at about 11:47, not 12, and the bus leaves at 11:57ish.

hey if you can't find it on their website, you should call them up and ask for when the train/bus is scheduled and can ask them to help you find it on their website as well

Honestly, google maps has been deadly accurate for any GO transit information. Have you tried it?

The buses leave from Aldershot every hour on the :57 at that time of day.

Also, the google maps timing takes into account waiting for the buses to come...so it depends what time you tell it to start vs what time the bus comes. Also, not all of the routes it gives are GO, some are municipal buses.

There is no train from aldershot to mcmaster. There are buses, and I told you the times in my previous post, along with a link to the schedule.

~15 minute bus ride, ~5-10 minutes waiting for each bus. That's usually how long it takes me when I'm coming back from Toronto at odd hours after the lakeshore west. How long does it take on your magical bus? :O

Yes, there is a bus from aldershot to mcmaster.

No, it does not leave at 12:48, if you look at the colour coding on the schedule you'll see that that indicates the time that the westbound train arrives at altershot from union. Yellow is for buses, and as several people have said now, it leaves at 12:57.

Lol it's really not that complicated...When I was in high school I used to tell my mom I didn't want to use it because it was too complicated and I'd get lost. And she told me that if my grandmother could figure it out without the internet and without speaking a word of English, then why can't I figure it out with the help of both of those?

And then I actually gave it a try, and she was right. It was easy.
