Re: COMMON planning (Bus from Airport)

[Neil Palmer/DPS <neilp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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:
http://www.toronto.ca/ttc/schedules/index.htm

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):
