Hamilton to Brantford
Hey all!

So is it impossible to get from Hamilton to Brantford on the bus?

Lucky me. When choosing my block for the fall, the Nursing program doesn't like to specify which blocks will have a clinical rotation that switches to another location half-way through. So while when your choosing it sais "St. Peter's Hamilton" half-way through you will get switched to a hospital in Brantford. Only a few blocks are like this, and chances are I chose one.

I won't have a car, so this should be interesting.

:(

You can take the Greyhound to get to Brantford.

That sounds expensive lol. If I am stuck in Brantford for clinical it'd be two days a week.

:(

There is the greyhound... but it'll probably cost a lot.

I really wish they'd specify which blocks are going to be rotating to far locations half-way through. I definately wouldn't of chosen this one. I thought i'd be at St. Peter's the whole way through :( ughhhh

Greyhound does have specials, like $1 tickets. You'd have to book them online through their website though.

It's not that expensive really. It's only $7 something the last time I did it for the grey hound. Paying for insurance and gas on a car would be more expensive

Unfortunately thought the Hamilton-Brantford route isn't usually a frequent one. I'm not too sure if the schedule is out for the school year yet though.
