public transit

[B.C.]

is there anyway to get to srm using public transit?

Never visited SRM myself. But I happened to
have commutted from downtown
Brampton to Toronto (Union station or York Mills)
by GO bus several times. I assume the return
trip is the same route. The bus route
covers a good part of Steeles West but
I don't know where it ends. If SRM is close
to one of the Steeles West intersections on the
route you probably can request the driver to let
you off near the spa. Don't know how much
a Toronto--Brampton ticket cost these days.
Probably around 2% of a 1 hour VIP session.

You can also get on the Brampton transit
at the Finch Go bus station. Using that route
is cheaper but could easily take you more than
two hours to get to the spa.

I assume you already know where SRM actually is, if not, get informed from its site and/or Romeo's exotic-massage pages. Then go to the nearest subway ticket booth and ask for a free Ride Guide map. It shows TTC, GO, and all the regional transit routes all the way out to Brampton. Mine shows the GO bus to Bramalea GO station will pass SRM as will Bramalea transit's #14 from Bramalea Centre. When I used transit, the trip from downtown never took me longer than an hour and three quarters once I had the route figured.

And the transit companies have websites and info lines. Ride safe.

Hey Brother,
I don't know where you're setting out from, but if you are around Union, there are a few Go trains a day that go straight to Bramalea station (35 minute ride). From there it's about twenty minutes on foot across Steeles, or you can hop a Bramptom bus (#11, I think. Show your Go ticket and it's only fifty cents) for a five minute ride. I don't have a car when I visit Toronto, so I always use the Go.

Good luck. Just stay home and have a call in.

Also note that the trains from Union to Brampton only run mainly in the afternoons until about 7pm. You will have to take a bus (GO Transit or otherwise) to a TTC subway station in order to return to Toronto in the afternoon up until next morning. The next morning starting from like 5:30AM is when GO trains will be leaving from Brampton to Toronto so if you wanted to do the return train route you'd have to stay overnight in Brampton. But bussing it back to Toronto is straightforward and more cost-effective.
The best bet to plan your trip around your schedule is to get the Free Guide map and peruse the websites and info lines of the different transit services (which is what oldjones suggested).

If you can afford the hobby, you should be able to afford a car. Unless of course you spend all your money on the MPA hobby and dont have any money left for a car.

ignorance on this board is running wild.

 

[Badge203]

Ignorance because somebody had the balls to speak up? Wont daddy lend you the car? So when you go out on a date, do you drop the lady off at the bus stop? Give me a break!

If you can afford SRM then you can afford a house in Brampton

Get with the program

Excuse me? who said its my daddy leading me the car.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THE FUCKING SITUATION DON'T PLAY ME.

FUCK!

 

[BOMSR]

I have to be one of those who need to use dad's car. Unfortunately
my dad is too old to own one and I am the only adult in this country
who doesn't even have a driver's license---I have phobia of driving
on the road.

With or without a car I can afford this hobby. The money
saved from gas and car payments however makes a big difference
in the quality of the services received.

Another advantage of not having to drive to the MP is that
I don't have to offer a lift to my regular at the end of the shift.
Most of them own cars anyway and one good thing is that
in a number of occassions the ones who take a liking to me
would offer me a ride home!

Regardless of whether you own a car or not allow me
to offer an advice. I have very little doubt that oil will rise
from $100/barrel to $200/barrel in a couple of years. From
there it will move to $300 and $400 in a decade. Getting used
to visiting the MP by public transit would turn out to be prudent
very soon.

Wrong! You're not the only one.

There's a major difference between speaking up to insult and speaking up to inform. It would be to your benefit to learn what that is. Call your present condition what you want.

Or, at least be funny.

Okay, guess I took the criticizm too far this time. Brotherman peace out.

 

[PPV -IN]

i'm sure he was just playing around...

We'e a one-car family notenuf (yes, they do exist), and so I travel into Toronto by train. Why not two cars? Well, honestly, I'd rather spend the money on other things.........! Anyway, you should try travelling by rail, you might like it.
