Yes, I'm probably the last person to find this out. The TTC service, surprisingly, isn't as sucky as I thought. I was away for New Year's and the last thing I wanted to do when I got back was to spend $35 on a cab ride or $15 on a shuttle ride back into the city. Needless to say that my airline fare had put me on a tight budget for the next little while.

As I was walking around the airport, I noticed a sign that said "Local Transit" and I gravitated towards the bustop. There is an express bus which stops at all three airport terminals and then goes right into Kipling station, or an alternative bus which goes into Lawrence station. The ride was quick and totally hassle free, and will take you right where you want to go. Try it!

Only the Kipling service is any good. The other bus isn't an express, and only goes to Lawrence West (which it only reaches after more than half an hour.) The ride through Weston is bumpy, and it gets quite crowded past Jane, which is awkward when you have luggage.

I was just at the airport on Wednesday and I took the TTC from Warden station to Kipling and then hopped on the 192 Airport shuttle bus to Pearson. My trip took about 1 1/2 hours but it cost me only one token!

I found the service quite good and had no problem getting to Pearson on time. If I had taken a cab or airport limousine, it would have cost me about $50. The bus takes you right into Terminal 3 Departures. I would recommend it to anyone.

You're lucky you weren't here needing a ride for New Years.... I waited 90 minutes at 6am for the 501 Streetcar on Queen St! :S

The only problem with the TTC's airport service is its impossible to figure out how to get the airport for a flight that leaves around 6:30am (which is quite a few, especially vacation flights to the sunny south.) There's a huge gap in the east-west schedule just before the subway starts running that really doesn't give you any reliable options. The fact that the TTC online schedules don't tell you how long it takes the bus to get to a destinations is annoying too.

Yeah! but Airport Limo service is a north american culture only for your convenience as TTC would take 1-30 mins to transport you to the airport while Airport Limo Toronto a regular Lincoln Town Car Service will get you to the Toronto airport in 25-30 mins and that too hassle free. Specially with Limo Child Seat Service at no extra charge. Secondly 5-6-7 passengers Limousine Child Seat service is only available Toronto to Pearson Airport in Toronto SUV service or Toronto Van Service. if your a family of 4 and travelling with an infant baby and require a Limo with child seat service i guess then you would require www.gtaataxi.com's Toronto Airport Limo service. Call us: 1-800-316-4473 or visit us online: http://www.gtaataxi.com
