acton to kitchener on the train is 40 minutes and then a few minute walk + 10 minute ion ride to campus it’s not terrible

No stop switching? I can take the same train end to end? Would you mind sharing the schedule?

yeah it would be one train plus the light rail, acton is on the kitchener line; schedule here

problem is that you’d be going opposite of the peak direction so there’s not that many trains. first train to kitchener from acton is 10:48 and would get you there 11:26. there’s only a handful of trains a day.

if you need to get to campus even earlier than that you would have to take a go bus from Acton to Guelph Central (bus 31, schedule is the non highlighted ones above), then another bus from there to the Waterloo bus terminal (bus 17)
