 '''One more option for YYZ''' You could also take public transit [http://ttc.ca/ (TTC)].  Outside of the airport, you can hop on the 192 Airport Rocket bus, it will take you to Kipling subway station, you would ride the train east to St. George Station, then head southbound on another subway train to Union station.  One way fare is $3.25 CAD.
-'''One option for YTZ:''' A taxi ride should be between 5 and 10 minutes and cost you about $10-12 CAD.

 ==Travel between the airport and the hotel==
-'''Best option for YYZ''' [https://www.upexpress.com/ Union Pearson Express]  The hotel is a 5 minute indoor walk from where the UP train drops you off at Union Station.  You can buy a ticket beforehand online or at the station before you board. This is the fastest and most cost efficient route (just $12 CAD).  You can board at Pearson in Terminal 1.  When you step off the train at Union station, depending on when you arrive, you might see a volunteer to will welcome you and point you to the hotel.  If not, simply exit the station, take a left and go up the escalators, walk 2 minutes down the skywalk and you'll see a door on your left to enter the hotel.  There will be lots of hotel signage.

 '''Other option for YYZ:''' Taxi or limo service Like most international airports, there will be plenty of taxi and limos that can take you into the city.  The cost is about $50 CAD each way and most cars are equipped with credit card machines but it’s a good idea to double check when you get in if you don’t have Canadian currency.
