## TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) Services The TTC offers bus and subway connections between the city of Toronto and the airport. This is often the most economical option for travelers coming from various neighborhoods within the city. * **900 Airport Express:** This dedicated express bus route runs between Kipling Station (on Subway Line 2 Bloor-Danforth) and both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. The buses are equipped with specialized luggage racks. * **Local Bus Routes:** The 52 Lawrence West bus connects the airport to Lawrence and Lawrence West subway stations. * **Overnight Services:** When the subway system is closed, the Blue Night network provides overnight bus service, such as the 300 Bloor-Danforth night bus, which connects the airport to downtown Toronto. * **Fares and Payment:** Passengers can pay using a PRESTO card, contactless credit or debit cards, or exact cash on buses. ## GO Transit Regional Buses GO Transit operates regional bus services that connect Toronto Pearson Airport to various municipalities outside of Toronto's municipal transit system. * **Routes:** Key routes connect the airport to regional hubs, including Richmond Hill, Hamilton, Oakville, and other parts of the Greater Golden Horseshoe. * **Terminal Locations:** GO Transit buses arrive and depart from the ground level of Terminal 1.
## Local Suburban Transit Systems If you are traveling to or from the suburbs surrounding Toronto, local transit agencies provide direct bus connections to the airport terminals: * **MiWay (Mississauga Transit):** Operates local and express bus routes connecting Mississauga to the airport, with stops at both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. * **Brampton Transit:** Provides bus service connecting the city of Brampton to the airport. ## Key Planning Tips * **Verify Schedules:** Transit schedules can change during weekends, holidays, or late-night hours. Travelers should verify current timetables on the official websites of the respective transit agencies before starting their journey. * **Terminal Transfers:** The free Terminal Link Train operates 24 hours a day to connect Terminal 1, Terminal 3, and the Alt Hotel/Viscount station. * **Fare Integration:** Some transit systems offer discounted transfers when transferring between local transit (like the TTC) and regional transit (like GO Transit or UP Express) using a PRESTO card. Check official transit sources to confirm active fare agreements.
