This is the reason why I chose McMaster as opposed to UTM. Simply because if I chose UTM, I would live in Mississauga and have a similar dreadful route as yours.

McMaster is far enough from me to make it reasonable to live off campus, and I think it's been a great decision.

You know, I love Mac and everything, but if I could change one thing, I definitely would have lived on rez.

The route to UTM is nothing compared to the route to Mac. Hamilton's geography is so vastly different from Sauga's. Depending on where you live, there are direct buses that go to UTM/stop near it with a 5 minute walk. The most I've heard of, is two transfers.

I like that this thread has become Commuter Therapy.

don't get off at haymarket. at least get off at john and jackson, because 5C/52 also stop there and you can catch any one of them to mac.

I always stay on the bus and look to see if University is coming out of the Go Station. If it's still waiting there, I get off at john&jackson, and wait for it to come around.

If it's leaving the Go terminal ahead of the bus I'm on, then I just give up on it and get off at macnab and catch any bus from in front of jackson square xD I like that there's loads of options to take at least....

honestly I really hate that light at the go tunnel though... literally sit there on the upper wentworth and watch as university leaves ahead of you by seconds D< it's those little moments that add unnecessary stress to commuting...
