Hamilton
Canadian Football League game
All Hamilton Street Railway routes
You can ride any HSR bus free of fare to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats game against the British Columbia Lions, Sunday, July 7 at 7 p.m. — if you hold a valid ticket to the game.
With the HSR’s Ticket to Ride program, you can ride free of fare to Tim Hortons Field for as much as two hours before game time and free of fare from the stadium until the end of service.
You can also take advantage of Tiger-Cats Express shuttles. Park your car at or near one of three terminals across the City and the HSR will whisk you directly to the stadium on an express bus — and then take you back to one of the three terminals after the game. (You can also take another HSR bus to one of the three terminals — just show your game ticket to the bus operator and that’s your ticket to ride.)
2 Barton
Buses operate to and from the Hamilton GO Centre.
Board or exit inbound buses on Barton Street East at Chapple Street — just one block north of Tim Hortons Field. Board or exit outbound buses on Barton East at Lenister Avenue North.
3 Cannon
Buses operate to and from the Hamilton GO Centre.
Board or exit inbound and outbound buses on Cannon Street East west of Balsam Avenue North — just south of Tim Hortons Field.
Tiger-Cats Express shuttles
From about 5 until 7 p.m. Sunday, July 7, free HSR shuttle buses also speedily transport ticket-holders from three terminals across the city to the stadium. After the game is over, they’ll shuttle you back again. You can view the schedule for Sunday’s shuttle service here (.pdf).
