Re: [90attendees] Hints on best airport transfer someone?

[Evan Leibovitch <[e-mail]>]

Greetings.

I just joined this list and live in Toronto. AMA.

A few additions to the IETF website:

The Airport Express bus is $27(cdn), runs every 40 minutes, and stops
across the street from the venue. Travel time is highly time-of-day
dependent, can be as little as 40 minutes but midday weekdays often 60 or
more.

The TTC local transit may be a good option. Two relevant lines service both
terminals. The 192 "rocket" goes to Kipling Subway, using routes that are
not as badly impacted as the downtown and it runs every 8-9 minutes from
5am to 2am. You'll need to switch subway lines at St George station. Total
time, between 60 and 70 minutes, which in midday is about the same as the
Airport Express. (Between 2 and 5 there is still service to the airport
every 10 minutes, route 300 that also replaces the green line subway)

You do not need a transfer to go from bus to subway at either Kipling or
Lawrence West stations.

Billy Bishop airport (YTZ) is much closer to downtown, and there's a free
shuttle service from the airport to the venue hotel. But service is
propeller only, and thus only from the Canadian and US northeast. Porter
Airlines <https://www.flyporter.com>, which serves this airport, doesn't
show up on many travel search sites and its not part of any airline
alliance. But its service is apparently good and everyone has access to the
business lounge.

If going on the cheap, Megabus has direct and moderately comfortable
service from Montreal, New York, Washington, and Philly.
