Getting to the Campus From the Airport

Toronto is accessible by two airports: Pearson International airport (YYZ) and the Billy Bishop Toronto city Airport (YTZ).

 Pearson Airport:

This is the main international airport. It is located about 25 km from the downtown core. A taxi or limo from the airport to downtown should cost about $50-$60, plus tip (15%). Alternatively, you can take the Union-Pearson (UP) Express train to Union Station. The cost of a one-way adult fare on the UP Express is $12.35. At Union Station you can change to the subway system (the TTC). The cost of a single fare on the TTC is $3.25.

 Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport:

This airport is located on the Toronto Islands, just south of the downtown core of the city. You can take a taxi from the airport to any point in the city. There is also a shuttle bus that will take you from the airport to Union Station, where you can connect to the subway system (the TTC). The cost of a single fare on the TTC is $3.25.
