It you\u2019re taking a taxi from Pearson airport, it will cost about CAD$50-55 one way. Tips are 15% on top of that. You should arrange for a flat rate at the beginning of the trip \u2013 they charge per zone. It doesn\u2019t matter which taxi company you choose if you\u2019re in the official taxi lineup \u2013 all those companies have permission to pick up fares at the airport. Be careful about taxi drivers coming up to you out of line \u2013 they\u2019re usually legitimate, but are not technically permitted to pick up passengers at Pearson \u2013 other taxi drivers may object \u2013 and you won\u2019t get a better price. The drive will take between 30-45 minutes, unless you\u2019re caught in traffic, which is why a flat rate is much better than meter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A slightly more adventurous and less expensive way to get to campus from the airport (Pearson Airport) is to take the #40 GO bus (make sure you take the one with the sign: Richmond Hill, <\/strong>and NOT Hamilton<\/strong>). You would get off at the Highway #407 bus terminal, which is one stop after the airport \u2013 about 20-30 minutes. The Highway 407 stop is a transit station, so you can connect directly to the subway (TTC) and go south 2 stops to the York University subway station, which is right in the middle of the York campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can board the GO bus at Terminal 1, Ground Level, second curb, Column Q2-Q4. They run every hour at night, every 30 minutes during the day. You can check the schedule here: https:\/\/www.gotransit.com\/<\/a> You would search for Pearson Airport Terminal 1 to HWY 407 Bus Terminal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You would pay 2 fares\n\u2013 cash fare is $7.55 for the GO bus and $3.25 for the TTC one way. It\u2019s much,\nmuch cheaper than getting a taxi, and you don\u2019t have to deal with traffic. It\u2019s\nalso safe to ride at night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You might want to consider buying a Presto card \u2013 that works for both GO Transit and the city transit TTC (so you don\u2019t have to worry about buying tickets, transfers, etc.). If you use a PRESTO card, there are discounts built in, and it\u2019s very easy to use if you\u2019re also going to go around Toronto. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can purchase a\nPresto card at the Pearson Airport UP Express counter in Terminal 1, using any\nmajor credit card (VISA, MasterCard and American Express) or cash in US and\nCanadian currency, and preload it with the amount you think you will be\nspending. There will be a one time $6.00 charge for the Presto card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also use a credit card to RELOAD your Presto Card using Presto kiosks located in the various transportation stations in the Metrolinx system: UP express, GO Transit, TTC, etc. More information about how the Presto card works is here: https:\/\/www.prestocard.ca\/en\/about\/using-presto<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n A map of the subway and street car system can be found here: (Link<\/a>) .
