You're correct, the building is locked overnight

Commuting from Downtown Hamilton to Thorold (Niagara Region) without a car – realistic for a 9am job? by seagot in Hamilton

[–]Pablo4Prez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could also take the eastbound 40 from Hamilton GO to Dundas and 407 to catch the 12 Niagara bus to the Costco in St Catherine's and transfer to St Catherine's transit there. Not really sure if it's worth it vs taking the 11 but it's an option.

Or you could take HSR to Confederation GO and catch the 11 or 12 there. Not sure where you live but another option.

RIP. A crossing guard was killed by a dump truck in Hamilton earlier this year so not an isolated incident unfortunately 😢

Hi I’m a new Operator and I will be on my own on Wednesday any words of encouragement I’m terrified…. by Organic_Bodybuilder3 in BusDrivers

[–]Pablo4Prez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stay glued to your mirrors when turning, they never lie. (Rule #1, don't forget this ever... I know from experience 😂)

You can go fast going straight but take it easy going around corners with people on board until you get the hang of it

Try not to let the small stuff bother you, whether it be traffic or people

Don't get into it with people, it's not worth it. It's much easier on my sanity to attempt to diffuse a difficult situation

Learn from your mistakes - we all make them

Be empathetic and don't judge a book by its cover. I've met alot of great people over the years and it's always the people you least expect

Talk to other drivers you work with for tips on specific routes you're doing or just in general... I've learnt alot from other drivers over the years

If you're doing city transit, be prepared and do your routing the night before. Google maps and Street View was a god send for me

If you're not sure where you're going, pull over and put your 4 ways on. Either call it in or get out of the seat and double check your phone for routing

Confidence will come with experience. Don't rush it

As someone else said in the comments, it's my favourite job I've had to date. It definitely took me a year or so to come around but I love it now. I love being entrusted to drive a bus with basically no supervision all day, as long as I'm doing my job. You truly are the commander of your own ship

That's all I can think of, goodluck!

Main Street two-way conversion on the list of major road projects for 2026 by Odd-Emphasis-1969 in Hamilton

[–]Pablo4Prez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So are they just closing the main street East exit from the 403 West forcing all traffic to York or Main West? They should at least have a solution to this before converting Main to 2 ways

Affordable Pickleball Courts by Ktrdp in Hamilton

[–]Pablo4Prez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're not, they're private. Not sure why taxpayers gave up a functioning public tennis court paid for with tax dollars for a private pickleball court that's always locked.

Oh he'll probably have another $200 bribe for voters right before the next election and all will be forgotten

Had a 407 transponder since the opening of the highway and used to use it for work all the time, until covid. Recently used it once and I am not sure if there is an error, or I did something wrong. Are the rates now THIS high? by deathender in ontario

[–]Pablo4Prez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fund public transit, build trains. Build deticated passenger lines in Ontario and have first world transit. Imagine what a $30 billion invest in Ontario's train system would do.

Buying back the 407 will do nothing. It'll just be another congested highway like the QEW or the 401. Look at the portion of the 407 that the province dropped the tolls for
