Getting Around
Travelling Downtown from Our Airports
Toronto has two airports, Toronto Pearson ( YYZ ) (for international and domestic flights) and Billy Bishop ( YTZ ) (the smaller airport, which sits on Toronto Island, for domestic and a few U.S. flights).
To get from Toronto Pearson to downtown Toronto, you can take: A taxi or ride-sharing service (Uber or Lyft): When you exit the terminal, follow the signs to the taxi or ride-sharing pick-up areas, which are available at both Terminals 1 and 3. You can get a licensed taxi at a designated stand. For ride-sharing, use your app to request a ride and follow the instructions for the pickup location. Depending on traffic, the ride to downtown Toronto will take 25—40 minutes. The UP Express train from Terminal 1: There is a Terminal Link Train from Terminal 3 to the station at Terminal 1. Trains for Union Station, in the heart of downtown Toronto, depart every 15 minutes, and the ride takes about 25 minutes. From Union, you can access taxis, the subway and streetcars to reach your final destination. There is WiFi available in the UP Express train.
To get from Billy Bishop to downtown Toronto, you can take: The ferry or tunnel: To leave the island airport, take a short ferry ride. Just follow the clearly marked signs from the airport to the ferry terminal. The ferry runs every 15 minutes and takes about 2 minutes, dropping passengers at the mainland ferry terminal. Alternatively, take a 2-minute walk through the pedestrian tunnel that connects the airport to the mainland. The shuttle: A free shuttle service operates every 15 minutes, picking up passengers just outside the mainland terminal and dropping them off at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel, across from Union Station, in the heart of downtown Toronto. Taxi or rideshare: Taxis and rideshare services like Uber or Lyft are all available from the taxi stand, by the mainland ferry terminal building. The ride to downtown Toronto typically takes 10–15 minutes, depending on traffic.
