Toronto Airport Transportation Options"},"content":{"rendered":"

When flying into <\/span>Toronto Pearson International Airport<\/span><\/a>, one of the first things visitors ask themselves is \u201cHow do I get from Toronto airport to downtown?\u201d With the airport being located in the outskirts of Toronto\u2019s downtown core, and very few transportation options available, this is a common concern for any visitor to this great city. There are currently only 2 main transportation options to choose from, which include city bus or <\/span>airport tax<\/span><\/a>i, while a 3rd option, the \u201cUnion Pearson Express\u201d is set to finish construction for summer 2015.\u00a0 To help travelers with finding the most efficient, and cost effective solution to getting to downtown from Pearson International Airport, we\u2019ve expanded upon the main positive and negative <\/span>features of each transportation solution<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

City Bus from YYZ to Downtown Toronto<\/b><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning on taking the bus to downtown Toronto, you\u2019d better start planning ahead of time. The TTC bus service only runs every 40 minutes, and it\u2019s almost always completely filled with travelers looking to get into downtown Toronto on the cheap.<\/span><\/p>\n

The total duration of this <\/span>bus route averages about 65 minutes, while it isn\u2019t uncommon for it to take even longer. As well, the majority of the TTC <\/span>buses<\/span> that provide this service require passengers to make at least one transfer to another bus. This is because<\/span> there aren\u2019t many (if any) dedicated buses to and from Pearson Airport to union station.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the price of a single ride on the TTC is low, (only costing a few dollars) taking the bus proves to be time consuming and a much less convenient option. As well, <\/span>buses<\/span> are far less comfortable, offer very little space for your luggage and are crammed with dozens of travelers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Union Pearson Express<\/b><\/p>\n

The Union Pearson Express is currently under construction, and isn\u2019t scheduled to begin service until the summer of 2015. This new <\/span>shuttle service<\/span><\/a> is set to depart every 15 minutes from Toronto Pearson International Airport and will take a total of 25 minutes to get downtown.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prices have yet to be determined, although many fear that it could become highly unaffordable. The <\/span>Toronto Star<\/span><\/a> estimates it could cost anywhere between $20.00 \u2013 $30.00 per rider, plus an airport fee of $2.00 per ticket to cover \u201clost revenue\u201d from airport parking.<\/span><\/p>\n

For a family traveling together, this new express train to the city can end up costing far more than it should. A family of 4 could be paying over $100 in <\/span>airport transportation<\/span><\/a>! The Union Pearson Express is proving to be a less viable option for families, and it hasn\u2019t even officially launched yet!<\/span><\/p>\n

Airport Taxi or Limo to Downtown Toronto<\/b><\/p>\n

The <\/span>cost of taking an airport taxi<\/span><\/a> is only $48.00, while an <\/span>airport limo<\/span><\/a> will cost only $51.00 from Union Station to Toronto Airport. These two forms of transportation can seat up to 4 passengers including their luggage. Larger groups of travelers can order an executive minivan for $58.00, and can comfortably seat up to 6 passengers in one vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n
