I am wondering if anyone here commutes to hamilton? If so, can you let me know the following:
which route you take?
Costs associated (407) monthly?
How long does it take?
How is traffic?
Thanks in advance.
I commute there daily, and it takes roughly 30mins or so if you take the 407. Costs for the 407 are around $150-160 a month if you take it from Bronte to the 403/QEW. As said above, traffic is minimal- however I find the stretch of the 403 between hwy 6 and Main st west to be variable, and always the slowest part of the drive. All in all not a bad commute.
+1. I work in Hamilton, and it's an easy drive. 30 minutes or so from Milton to work for me (Main/403 area - time will vary depending on where in Hamilton, of course). About every 3rd week there will be an accident on the 403 in the evening that slows things down, but once you get to the 407 it's smooth sailing. I usually take the 407 from 25 in the morning, but then get off at Appleby on the way home and cut through the back roads to get back to Milton. Saves a bit of money in 407 fees and I've found 25 north in the evening can be a total trainwreck if there's a lot of transport truck traffic, so I like to avoid it. Although it's better now that Bronte St. is reopened and you can get around that way if you live on the west side of Milton.
