Unfortunately, not really . Waterloo is the biggest pain in the ass to get to by public transit. I think you have to go to Square One first in Mississauga, and then take a 1.5 hour bus ride from there to Waterloo.
It's ~3 hours one-way overall from campus.
EDIT: Do what everyone else said. GO Transit sucks.

From what I've heard, you take a Coach Canada bus from campus to Waterloo. Or you could take a GO Bus to Kitchener and take the regular bus to Waterloo's campus.

You can take CoachCanada but it's not at the most convenient times, takes about an hour and costs the same as the GO bus.

Can't you just meet with her in some location between Waterloo and Hamilton? Will be less painful of either of you to get here.

You can take Coach Canada or Megabus (they usually end up being the same bus) but if you book through Megabus you will get a cheaper fare. I paid 2.83 return to get to Waterloo and back last weekend.

Might wanna save yourself the trouble and just end it. It won't work out in the end. I had the same experience. If you continue, hope you got some friends there to spy on her. Chicks always cheat and somehow end up rationalizing it perfectly.

Aw, don't be so jaded. I'm sorry it didn't work out and you had a bad experience, but I really hope that you don't expect every girl in the world to cheat just because they have the chance. Trust is an integral part of any meaningful relationship. |

COACH CANADA! The service sucks in the summer, but you should be fine for the school year. I'm actually from Waterloo, and I find it convenient enough... My mom ends up picking me up from the bus stop, but it ain't bad!  |

Megabus even goes directly from McMaster to Waterloo now so you don't even have to leave campus to get on the bus. Conversely, your girlfriend can take a bus straight on to campus. It's your best bet, I think.
I'm still annoyed Megabus doesn't even go from Hamilton to Toronto...
