Airport to Toronto?
 
I know I'm taking the easy way out (by asking instead of researching) but I have found the posters on these boards to be even more knowledgeable than some of the websites!
Anyway: What's the best way (and cost, please) to get from the airport to downtown Tornonto? Also, what should I not miss?

Easiest way is to walk out of any of the terminals and get in a limo (Full size Lincolns, usually, not extra-long monsters)

There are big comfortable highway style buses that go to the major downtown hotels, and for individuals (not couples or more) this is often the best bet, but it takes longer if it stops at several hotels before it gets to your destination.

Call any of the limo companies to make a reservation. Then when you arrive @ PIA follow the signs just outside the baggage area to "Pre-Arranged Transportation". Give the person in the kiosk your name & the name of your limo service. He/she will call down to "the compound" where the limos park. W/in 5 minutes your car will be there to whisk you off to downtown Toronto!

Thank you both for your responses. I appreciate it. How do I look up phone numbers for the limo companies?

I know many people who have used Rosedale Livery, including myself, and have been very pleased with their service. They are very reliable. If you don't wish to reserve in advance, there are always limos and taxis waiting outside the arrival areas.

Where do you catch that bus?

Outside baggage claim there are a number of booths that sell tickets for the bus.

If you are really trying to scrimp and have a little time to kill, you can take the public bus to the subway and take the subway into the city. Very cheap and not a bad ride.

This thread is 11 years old! No wonder it doesn’t mention the airport express train.
