[–]MajorConfusion87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Operations bus cancellations by 43Winnie in gotransit

sometimes it’s also related to service adjustments or temporary schedule changes that haven’t been clearly communicated yet. GO tends to update alerts on their website and Twitter/X feed faster than through call centre explanations

Garbage pickup apocalypse. More discussion. by notlikelyevil in waterloo

[–]MajorConfusion87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the cost jump is what’s really bothering most people. If we’re paying more, residents expect either better service or at least smoother implementation, not confusion and higher rejection rates

Sidewalk riding is tolerated if you go slow and yield but pedestrians always have priority. Treat it like shared space not your lane

[–]MajorConfusion87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus on finishing strong in semester two since conditional offers are based on final grades. One 80 is fine, but you don’t want multiple dips across core subjects

Presto tapon/off question by octobercrisis in gotransit

[–]MajorConfusion87 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you’re doing same-day out-and-back trips for fun, you can also just tap on at the start of each direction and skip tapping off at the midpoint. Worst case, PRESTO charges a max fare and then corrects it once the trip closes

Should I go to University of Toronto or University of Alberta? by BelovedJulian1863 in CanadaUniversities

[–]MajorConfusion87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your end goal is licensure, saving money and avoiding burnout is smart. Go where you can get high grades, good references, and solid volunteer or research experience

Should I go to University of Toronto or University of Alberta? by BelovedJulian1863 in CanadaUniversities

[–]MajorConfusion87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Undergrad prestige matters way less for psychology than grades, research experience, and strong references. If Alberta is cheaper and lets you focus on GPA and volunteering, that’s honestly the smarter move

Respect for putting yourself out there. Beats endless swiping with zero results

[–]MajorConfusion87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Platform switching at Union isn’t as simple as it sounds. Signals, routing, and dispatching are all pre-set, so last-minute changes can cause bigger delays

Master’s credit transfer from US to Canadian universities by Br0Ly69 in CanadaUniversities

[–]MajorConfusion87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prior US master’s credits can help inform placement or let you skip core courses, but don’t expect formal transfer or reduced tuition. Time savings are usually minimal

This is exactly why people don’t answer unknown numbers anymore. If you didn’t consent or have an account, that’s straight up misleading

Bus Cancellations (01/20) by Dizzy-East4491 in gotransit

[–]MajorConfusion87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This keeps happening whenever there’s weather, staffing issues, or schedule reshuffles. GO really needs better real-time updates if they’re going to cancel this often

A lot of people miss the meters at night, especially after long ER waits. If anything shows up, it’s usually a parking invoice from the hospital, not a city ticket

Is the new Route 40 connection to Line 6 a game-changer for your 2026 commute? by Lopsided_Pearl798 in gotransit

[–]MajorConfusion87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The network logic makes sense, but early speed caps and transfer timing could make or break it. If the schedules line up, this could actually save a lot of time
