Re: COMMON planning (Bus from Airport) -- MIDRANGE-L

Thanks Neil. I will either take a taxi or the bus. I usually have no need for a rental car at COMMON conferences, except for locations. I favor the buss idea if they limit the number of stops in the trip to/from Pearson and Hotel

You can get  around Toronto  fairly  easily  by  public transportation.

Yes, you can use a credit card for this.  This is probably the most
convenient:

Cheaper would be GO Transit to the Yorkdale Terminal, then subway from
there - but no credit card purchases on the bus (you could use a credit
card at a GO Station, like Union STation, for a return trip):

Or (slowest) you can take the TTC (bus/subway combo):

Bus Route 58 (Malton) from the airport to the Lawrence West subway
station.  Schedule is here:

Note - you can get a day pass for $7.75 (all subways, streetcars & buses).
 On Sundays for the same price but it's good for a family (2 adults & up
to 4 kids, or 1 adult & 5 kids):
