Thanks in advance :)

I know 129A (or I might be wrong) going up McCowan Road all the way passing 16th Ave. and I can get off Markville Mall area to transit Viva Pink? to get to Markham Campus of Seneca College.

Would someone tell me the detail where to get the bus and where to transit? Also how long does this take from end to end on a weekday evening rush hour roughly please?

I got evening class on every other weekday starting next week and need to sort out the best travel route.

Yes, that's right.

1. Take TTC 129A north to Highway 7 (which is south of 16th Ave.).
2. Pay a fare and obtain a transfer, get off and walk to the fancy bus stop at the northwest corner of the intersection.
3. Using you transfer, board either YRT Route 1 or Viva Purple westbound. (You may take Viva Green to Enterprise and transfer to either Viva Purple or Pink if you think it will be faster.)
4. Get off at Allstate Pkwy and walk north to the campus.

You could also take TTC 190 STC Rocket to Warden and transfer to 68B north to your choice of Enterprise Dr. or Highway 7 and head west. (You have to choose one stop or the other though, so you don't get the advantage of the combined service like at McCowan.)

You could also take TTC 190 STC Rocket to Victoria Park and transfer to 24D or 224D north to Highway 7. and head west. (This one is more difficult.)

On the way back you'll have to buy or validate one ticket using the machine at Allstate Pkwy. & Highway 7 (for Viva) or by depositing it in the farebox on YRT Route 1. Use the validated ticket or a transfer from the driver to board TTC 129A.

Your transfer is good for two hours so feel free to enjoy a stopover along the way.

Now does anyone know if theres like a designated bus that goes directly to seneca markham campus? for example, i know theres a viva at don mills station taht does all the way up to the king campus. Also theres a go train bus at stc that goes to the seneca/york campus. Is there one for the markham campus? and how long does the 129 route take? i plan on leaving stc at around 7:30am.

YRT Trip Planner (http://tripplanner.yrt.ca)

Just fill it in. A trip from STC to Seneca Markham will take about 50-60 minutes.

Last time i checked, theres no VIVA that goes to king, but there is a YRT bus that goes to king from don mills

Unfortunately there isn't a bus that goes strait in, you'll have to get off and walk from allstate parkway
