How bad is the traffic around the region during rush hours?
Inside Hamilton, traffic is reasonably good; however, on the major highways leading to and around Toronto, delays are frequent and long during the usual weekday commuting hours (7-9AM and 4-7PM) Driving from Hamilton to Toronto during rush hours can take up to 3 hours (when traffic is good, it takes 45 min). A good alternative for commuters is to use the train system, GO Transit. (www.gotransit.com).
