Visiting Toronto this summer and had question about transport...?

Question

We are staying at a hotel near Pearson Airport and had questions about getting to Toronto and to Niagra as we are not renting a car. The hotel shuttle goes to the Airport:

1) Is there a bus or rail that goes from the Airport to downtown Toronto? Please provide details

2) Is there a bus or tourbus or rail that goes from the Airport to Niagra Falls? or downtown Toronto to Niagra? Please provide details.

We are very greatful for any useful answers.

Answer 1

The Toronto Transit Commission, sually just called TTC, has is regular bus service from Terminal 1 at Pearson Airport to the subway in Toronto (Kipling Station) which will take you to downtown. It will take about an hour and a half to reach downtown, depending on schedules at your time of day.

TTC airport schedule is here

There is express bus service that operates directly downtown as well. It takes about 35 to 45 minutes., depending on which destination you choose.

The main bus station in Toronto is on Edward Street, near the main intersection of Dundas St. West and Bay St.,  one block from the Eaton Centre., three blocks from Toronto City Hall.

Limousine service to and from the Terminal is often cheaper than a regular cab service, because they operate on a flat rate basis. The limousines are generally clean and  are readily available.

There are courtesy / traveller desks in each Terminal where you can ask specific questions and get more answers than you knew to ask about..  :)

Connections and tours to Niagara can be arranged right at the Terminals.

Other tours are available.   Here are some you can look at

for Toronto-Niagara tours.

Many people want to visit the casino in Niagara Falls, and if you are one of those, then look on these sites for that information, as well as the full tours.

The casino offers live entertainment and, if you are interested, you can look at their offerings here
