(Pearson International Airport)
Toronto Pearson International Airport
Toronto Pearson International Airport (IATA: YYZ) is about
30-50 minutes by car from the downtown core (depending on traffic)
and is serviced by most major international carriers. There
are two terminals: Terminal 1 hosts all Air Canada flights and
a few other international (mostly Star Alliance) carriers while
Terminal 3 hosts all other airlines.
There is no direct passenger rail link from the airport,
but other options do exist for getting downtown from Pearson:
* TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) provides public
bus services that run to and from Pearson. The best TTC option
is the 192 Airport Rocket that runs every 10-30 minutes between
Kipling Station on the Bloor-Danforth subway line (marked
green on maps) and Pearson Airport. Kipling Station is the
westernmost subway stop on the Bloor-Danforth line and it
takes 1-1.5 hours to reach downtown. One way adult fare on
the TTC is $3.00 (or $2.50 if tokens are purchased in multiples
of five from an agent, or of four from a machine) which includes
free transfers to other TTC buses or the subway. Tickets can
be purchased from the Bureau de Change in Arrivals. When the
subways stop running at around 1:30 AM, the 300A Bloor-Danforth
night bus provides service along the subway line and goes
directly to the airport.
* GO Transit provides express buses to locations outside
of Toronto's downtown. It operates from the airport to Yorkdale
and York Mills subway stations in North York every 30-60 minutes
for $4.05. This takes about 35-45 minutes, followed by another
20 minutes on the subway to get downtown (one must pay a separate
fare to board the subway; $3.00). A new GO Transit service
offers service to/from the airport to Richmond Hill Centre
(Yonge & Highway 7). This bus service runs every 60 minutes
from about 5:00AM to 1:00AM daily. The GO Bus Transit service
between Square One and the airport no longer operates. Alternatively,
Mississauga Transit [15] provides service options between
Square One and the airport.
* Pacific Western Airport Express operates a quick,
convenient, and frequent bus service (every 20 minutes during
peak periods and every 30 minutes on the off-peak). It picks
up passengers at both terminals, and stops at several major
hotels in the downtown core, as well as Union Station and
the inter-city bus terminal at Bay and Dundas. Adult fares
are $19.95 one way, $32.95 for round trips. There is a 10%
discount for online reservations.
* Taxis run a flat rate of $40, while airport limousines
go slightly higher at $50-70. Limousines are generally slightly
larger (though not stretched) and more comfortable vehicles
than taxis. Government approved rates can be found online.
