You take a Grand River Transit #7 from University of Waterloo campus to the bus terminal (it's this big station in the middle of Kitchener). [I know Kitchener sounds like a different city, but it's actually a walk distance away from where I live in Waterloo, and the bus ride from the University is no more than 20 minutes). Grey Hound happens to share the very same station.

Charles Terminal (downtown Kitchener bus station on Charles Street, also known as Kitchener Transportation Centre)

The details of the schedule you could confirm yourself, but for Sunday March 11th, it looks like there are 11 buses from Kitchener to Toronto, with the last one leaving at 10:00 pm. As I've said before, the tickets are interchangeable (and are the same price). You buy a return trip Toronto-Waterloo-Toronto, and board back from Kitchener. There are no questions asked (I do this all the time).

Well as I’ve mentioned above, there’s a nearly hourly greyhound service from Kitchener to Toronto (and Waterloo/Kitchener tickets are interchangeable). The local bus will take you straight from the University to Kitchener’s bus terminal (about 20 minute ride), there’s no way you can miss it.

Better than nothing though isn’t it? Although that still sucks large.

The thing with greyhound is that you get there and then have to leave an hour later…

I think timmytheturtle was trying to get down to Waterloo as well.

Greyhound will take you from Toronto to Waterloo’s campus (that’s right, Greyhound makes stops inside the University) and back for $27 (with student ID). It looks like this plan would require the return trip to be from Kitchener (nearly hourly service), but getting there is pretty straight forward. Let me know.

I might be going if I can find a way from Toronto to Waterloo cheaply and quickly… lol

Great, now it all rests on me. If it works, I could be there by roughly 12am, if that suits you

Seriously though, I can show up at 12 pm, and Timmy’s sounds good because I’m sure _everyone_ on campus knows where that is should I get lost. And I hope those are comfortable couches.
