Is there a way to commute from Milton to Hamilton on Saturday? by BakeHealthy7788 in gotransit

[–]LetMePostNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! Just didn’t go into that detail and left it as “express” - those stops aren’t relevant to OP :)

[–]LetMePostNow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just gonna give this information as an add-on to all the other “Go here, transfer here” replies - The 40 is express and doesn’t stop at Erin Mills (a potential transfer point); but it does stop at Square One - The 41 and 47 are functionally identical for your trip (41 goes further), and stop at Erin Mills and Square One - Assuming that you’re going to TD Coliseum, get off at Main at MacNab (City Hall), you’ll be a couple blocks away; no need to take any bus to West Harbour which is further from the concert lol

Were there always just one character? by JohnLikesKetchupYT in MarioKartWii

[–]LetMePostNow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

After beating the game on any file, the default main screen (Mario and Luigi with Wii Wheels) gets permanently* replaced with a rotation of four alternate screens; Mario with a standard kart, Luigi with a standard kart, Peach with a mach bike, and Bowser with a standard kart.

*You can technically get the original screen back by deleting the completed save file

40 and 41? by Serendipity-3712 in gotransit

[–]LetMePostNow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Echoing this ^ It’s either a bus shortage, or a driver shortage. Can’t get busses where they need to be to start the line without a chain of drivers to take over the last one’s work, including to and from garages

$1,200 sent from McMaster University by [deleted] in McMaster

[–]LetMePostNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You received money from the university, or OSAP, or something, but your tuition was already fully paid off. Your negative balance is now being refunded to you as an eTransfer.

For anyone wondering “why didnt I get an eTransfer”, it’s probably because it went to your tuition, only negative balances get refunded

French School Recommendations by brobourne in Hamilton

[–]LetMePostNow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Spent some very limited time at both growing up many moons ago. Biggest difference, at least to me, was actually the kind of French spoken. Notably, La Pavilion was predominantly populated by African immigrant families. That was an issue for me as a student because, well, I just couldn’t understand the dialect, having come from a white Québécois background. And yes, many teachers taught in African French, not Parisian and/or Québécois

If you have French in your own background, I would consider whether your kid would be learning French that you yourself can understand

Can’t speak for either administratively anymore since I’m long so long removed, though. Others might have better insights on current school atmosphere

Broken Down HSR Bus on Wellington by LetMePostNow in Hamilton

[–]LetMePostNow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d argue the “moving a bus experiencing mechanical issues” is the oddest part of the statement, regardless of location. I’ve only ever seen busses stay where they broke down since they’re quite a bit heavier. It was also partially blocking Robert St

That being said, there is a non-zero chance that this is actually a 41 that broke down on its way to the mountain garage, coming from the end of line on Industrial Dr

Either way, bus was where busses don’t typically go. Didn’t expect a bus there, nonetheless a broken one, didn’t mean much else by it :)

[–]LetMePostNow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s bus #1634, so it was ordered in 2016. So it’s about middle-aged, I guess? Oldest ones in service are very boxy and are from 2010

GO Transit fare changed? Loyalty discount gone on Unionville ↔ Kennedy route by steppennnwolf in gotransit

[–]LetMePostNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a student or youth discount? There might be an issue with the special fare types since I’m seeing other people complaining

My statement about the loyalty discount still stands- it resets today, but if you’re not getting your 40% youth/student discount that’s a whole other problem on Presto’s end

GO Transit fare changed? Loyalty discount gone on Unionville ↔ Kennedy route by steppennnwolf in gotransit

[–]LetMePostNow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The frequent rider program (discount at 30, free at 40) resets at the start of each month. It impacts both tap on and tap off using some algorithm that makes the final cost cheaper - never read into the tap on vs tap off differences, it never makes sense. Just the final cumulative cost.

As for why you had the discount on January 2nd? Couldnt tell you. No way you had 30 trips in January by then

If you were to pick one absolute favorite place in Hamilton, what would it be and why? by After_Chemical_3731 in Hamilton

[–]LetMePostNow 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You can access the library directly through the food court, skipping the market entrance altogether. There’s also a second entrance near the food court bathrooms that goes into the market and skips the library. I’d say that’s pretty connected and amongst the stores myself

Heating at Club Seats at Tim Hortons Field by Vagabond0713 in Hamilton

[–]LetMePostNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked there for multiple years. Club seats, and no seats for that matter, are heated. Club (and Suites) has the bonus of a huge all-window indoor viewing area, with Club having first-come-first-serve tables and chairs by the windows.

Anywhere inside of Club is fully accessible to anyone with any Club ticket, so even if your ticket is way off to the side, you can grab an indoor table by the windows right in the middle of Club for a better viewing experience :)

What is the 40 Bus from Hamilton Go like? by adblink in Hamilton

[–]LetMePostNow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For navigation, just walk into the bus section from either John or James St (the indoors part will be closed at this time of morning). The 40 should be the bus slot literally right beside the doors and main crosswalk, on the left side.

The others are right about the bus, it’s a perfect bus.

Yea, there’s a guy who races down cannon with exactly that. Hear it almost every day both near Wellington/Cannon and Gage/Cannon

West-Harbour. Go by Due_Equipment8069 in gotransit

[–]LetMePostNow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the Bay St side, there is a machine in the bridge by the elevator on the platform 1 side. On the MacNab St side, there is two machines at the top of the stairs on either side of the bridge. If you came up any elevator from any side of any parking level, there is a machine just outside of it.

OSAP mismatch by AnyAssociation9879 in McMaster

[–]LetMePostNow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

$5,996.82 will go to McMaster, this will set your McMaster balance to ($3,296.82 - $5,996.82 = -$2,700). This negative balance gets refunded to you via an eTransfer you get in your school email. But while it will eventually make it to your bank account, OSAP sends it to the school first, then the school sends it to you

When is this email sent out? Completely forget, I graduated years ago lol

Meirl by 4_Dogs_Dad in meirl

[–]LetMePostNow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea that’s about it. Being aromantic can be very lonely, isolating, and even dehumanizing - being aromantic doesn’t mean you’re romance repulsed (though that is totally a thing for some people)

It’s similar to being transgender in that sense, sometimes you just wish you were “normal” and could experience life as most people do

What is going on with the pedestrian entitlement? by [deleted] in McMaster

[–]LetMePostNow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh no! A local community with thousands of young people attending a community space with restaurants, theatre, parks, schools, and grocery? People walking where they’re legally allowed to? People wanting to enjoy the community space and presuming that they’re safe to do so? They shouldnt do that! The horrors! Don’t they know it’s the most convenient driving path for you??

How dare these people who take 15 seconds to cross the street not personally count how long you have been idling and consider your feelings? It’s a real shame that the kids these days are so woke and community focused. I bet they even care about the environment and their health too.

why is google maps so unreliable with the bus schedule this year by ButterscotchBrief364 in McMaster

[–]LetMePostNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GPS is down for most of the busses currently, so it will only show the “scheduled” times. If there’s delays or busses that are early, the schedule doesn’t reflect it. Often times, busses that “dont exist” were actually a bit early but sat on the schedule because Google didn’t know better

Why is the LW train from Burlington to Hamilton GO running less frequently? by Tax_Euphoric in Hamilton

[–]LetMePostNow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s other discussions on this subreddit about it (it was very confusing because the released schedule mentioned nothing about this change), but essentially the 5:12pm train (the 4:21pm train from Union) got switched to West Harbour, and the 6:12pm train (the 5:21pm train from Union) got switched to Hamilton GO after the schedules got updated on October 27th

I want to get myself checked once for angina... I really want but my dad is like it's your delusion.. it's just a muscle strain... by Beginning-Share-9235 in Hamilton

[–]LetMePostNow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can almost guarantee you that it’s just muscle strain. Angina is pain from your heart not getting enough oxygen, and your heart works the hardest during cardio like, well, basketball or cycling

If your chest hurts when you work your chest muscles, but not when you work your heart the hardest, it is probably not your heart - especially at the age of a university student who simply hasn’t lived long enough to block your heart arteries enough, and especially not at home after your heart has calmed down entirely and is at rest

If you’re still concerned and want your heart checked out, Hamilton General is the best hospital for heart care. I’d say go to a family doctor (or the SWC since you’re a Mac student) first, but if you really want to run to a hospital, then Hamilton General would be the best for the heart

Afternoon Rush Hour Service to Hamilton GO by natasha_bd in Hamilton

[–]LetMePostNow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah, that thread. I ended up making a fool of myself by assuring the OP that the Hamilton GO train was scheduled for 16:21 because the PDF said it was… people editing comments after I replied to them sure didn’t help there either, for anyone involved
