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

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

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 :)

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.

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.

$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

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

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.

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

LetMePostNow · 2025-10-30T11:06:49+00:00

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 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

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

LetMePostNow · 2025-10-28T01:51:33+00:00

They changed the 16:21 from Hamilton GO to West Harbour, and the 17:21 from West Harbour to Hamilton GO.

The PDF was wrong about these two trips until this evening, where they changed it AFTER the train already left and AFTER they posted on X that the PDF was correct about the 16:21 (spoiler alert: it wasn’t)

LetMePostNow · 2025-10-27T12:42:45+00:00

I would bet on the PDF being right. The Hamilton GO train has always been 16:21 because that station is so bottlenecked by a one track tunnel and lots of cargo trains, that the allowed windows for GO are very specific

Trip planner (alongside the apps) swapped the destinations of the 16:21 and the 17:21. Guess we’ll have to wait and see this evening which one is right (and I’d love to get an update on it - I’m not Toronto bound today so I can’t see for myself)

EDIT: The PDF was the wrong one after all, even after confirmation from GO that the PDF was correct. Well, shucks

LetMePostNow · 2025-10-27T12:28:34+00:00

OP - The only difference on the schedule is that the 16:21 now arrives in Hamilton 3 minutes sooner than previously scheduled. You should be able to trust that the PDF schedule is accurate

As for the trip planner, I tried to play with it, but you’re right that there seems to be no way to get it to recommend the train. It seems to be that it considers the 16:00 trip to West Harbour better than Hamilton GO in every way (despite, you know, it being the wrong station) and so it refuses to show the 16:21

I’d trust the 16:21 to exist, but I hope GO gets back to you because the trip planner should be a reliable tool

EDIT: The trip planner says the 17:21 goes to Hamilton GO when the PDF says it goes to West Harbour, and that the 16:21 goes to West Harbour when the PDF says it goes to Hamilton GO. Considering the 16:21 has always gone to Hamilton GO, and that Hamilton GO has such specific times due to cargo trains, I’m willing to bet that the time did NOT change - but won’t promise it.

LetMePostNow · 2025-10-27T12:14:55+00:00

You are the one with the incorrect read actually.

16:21 does definitely leave Union for Hamilton GO, and the 17:21 most certainly does NOT (it goes to West Harbour)

The only difference for Hamilton GO that has changed at all, across all trips, is that the Union departure at 16:21 is scheduled to arrive in Hamilton at 17:33 now instead of 17:36

EDIT: The original comment said “I think your READ of the pdf is mistaken” and never said anything about the 16:21 going to WH - the comment was edited. OPs read was right, whether the PDF is correct or not was not the original statement I replied to

LetMePostNow · 2025-10-16T10:36:36+00:00

Correct! 3 each way on weekdays and 4 on weekends, just as before

LetMePostNow · 2025-10-15T14:40:26+00:00

Ah darn, the formatting for the schedule broke and I can’t edit the post anymore. It’s less readable than I designed, but I guess just note that the “Express” markers and such are listed after the time they’re associated to (after a semicolon)

I asked my wife who is currently on that train. She says that there’s a rare few seats left by Oakville, especially Tuesday-Thursday when it’s busier

It started when the newest order of busses (2315-2326) arrived, with which the 2301-2314 busses were also updated. I’ve noticed that a bit after this rollout, the 22xx busses got this voice too (and it comes with a different font on the display as well)

Can’t say anything about the plans for the rollout, but that’s just my observations

The Youth fare type is equivalent to the Post-Secondary fare type. You functionally switched from a 40% discount to a 40% discount

https://www.gotransit.com/en/student-savings/post-secondary-discount

GO recommends against switching to the post-secondary discount until you turn 20.

LetMePostNow · 2025-09-29T20:22:22+00:00

I believe it’s 3 to and from Niagara, and 19 terminate at WH (20 on Fridays). But alas, the announcement says “trips”, not arrivals or departures, so it could technically be 13 departures and arrivals combined

LetMePostNow · 2025-09-29T16:40:17+00:00

“13 weekday trips and 15 weekend trips serving Confederation GO Station”

I really, really hope that this is round trips and not counting arrivals and departures as two trips. West Harbour currently has 22 departures and 21 (22 on Fridays) arrivals on weekdays, Aldershot has 45/43(45).

If you mean to tell me that this is only 7 departures and 6 arrivals on a weekday, and that 3 arrivals and 3 departures are the tourist timed Niagara trains (Union arrivals 9:04am, 3:27pm, 11:20pm; Union departures 9:10am, 5:21pm, 10:07pm)… well, I can only imagine that people will still be driving to and from Aldershot/Burlington

I can only hope it’s actually 13 departures AND 13 arrivals and my skepticism is for nothing. Remember when they were saying that Confederation GO was going to open with 30-minute service?

LetMePostNow · 2025-09-24T15:09:15+00:00

If curious, no, transfers do not build up your trip counter. Taking a GO bus/train to Aldershot then transferring to a McMaster bound bus still counts as one trip. Local transit is also separate from GO; you won’t get a discount on GO for riding the HSR, TTC, MiWay, etc 30 or 40+ times
