Transportation from Pearson International Airport ✈️ 5 options to plan your trip!

[@LivinginCanada]

Have you tried taking the UP Express from/to Toronto Pearson Airport? If you want me to make a video about this, let me know!

[@paularonald8626]

Would love to see that video! I love cities that integrate the airport with the local light rail (Portland, OR; Seattle, WA, Denver, CO; et. al.)

[@ShivaniPatel-ni4ko]

What is the presto card use for? Is it also for transportation

[@denismccarthy9189]

Just watched your video as going to Toronto in a couple of weeks. Super helpful and going to through all the options was great.

[@LivinginCanada]

Glad to hear that, thank you!

[@DrewJoiner]

[@Nanny.1981]

Going to Toronto in July!! Thank you for the video

[@racsito39]

Thanks for your video, this will be my first time in Toronto, second time in Canada. First time was in Montreal and I managed to do everything using their public transport, but Toronto is bigger and so my anxiety. I plan to use presto on Apple wallet.

[@lbjonfire]

thanks, nice black dress, look good!

[@LivinginCanada]

Thank you!

[@charlesjaipal7488]

I'm so glad you put out this video. I live in Ottawa, and have had several experiences of travelling through Pearson. I have found myself helping out people coming into Toronto who have no familiarity with either the names "Union" or "Pearson". This means that the name "Union Pearson Express" is quite useless to them. It seems to me that the train service would be better named "Airport to Downtown Train".

[@charlesjaipal7488]

Excellent channel Subscribed!

[@LivinginCanada]

Haha, yes that makes sense. Downtown train would be super clear indeed!

[@andrew_is_so_great]

I agree. In Nyc its called the AirTrain which is a simple name that everyone understands..

[@leonelrodriguez5181]

Great info

[@khandyk9461]

Can you do a video on best ways to exchange money arriving to Canada?

[@LivinginCanada]

Do you mean cash? Thanks for the idea, I'll think about it!

[@milkdromedaquantic8593]

Thanks a lot! Coming soon to Toronto

[@LivinginCanada]

Welcome (soon)!

[@slindimasq]

Thank you so much for this, information is to the point and precisely. Great content. Sub for sure

[@ronaldmendoza2032]

Thank you for your help😊

[@LivinginCanada]

You're welcome 😊

Car rentals are expensive because of supply and demand. During the pandemic the car rental companies got rid of a bunch of their rental fleet. Now that Canada has opened up again and production delays, semi conductor shortages etc.. there are not enough rental cars to go around. I remember before the pandemic you could easily get a rental car for like $30 taxes in per day!

[@LivinginCanada]

$30 sounds like a steal! Yes, that makes sense, I hope that the supply will catch up again soon enough.

Addiotionally of the prices of uber, how much tax and tips do I hace to add?

[@e.abdoulah431]

thank you very much, merci

[@paularonald8626]

You can order Presto cards online BUT, unfortunately they only mail them to Canadian addresses....so if you're an American unless you have a Canadian friend who can forward it on to you, you'll have to wait 'til you arrive to buy one if interested.

[@LivinginCanada]

Yea, I found the mailing process to complicated and lengthy!

Do you have any idea how to travel with a Toddler when Coming for the first time without car safety seats for toddler?

[@tammizhang2334]

Btw, the full name of Toronto Pearson Airport is... Lester B. Pearson International Airport. And for Montréal it's Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. Just to let u know :)

[@LivinginCanada]

Thank you, interesting information for everyone.

[@JakubSemoda]

Hi, thanks for very usefull, great video, what I would like to know is, how is it driving around Toronto? I would probably have a chance to get to Canada through IEC Working holidays, and Toronto seems to me, as a best starting point. I Would like to stay in Toronto as short, as possible, due to my tight budget, and high renting prices. About my driving skills. I have my driving license more, than 10 years, and I prefer being behind the steering wheel every possible minute, I´ve spent thousands hours behind the steering wheel, but only driving around tiny town, with cca 15 000 population, and our small county. So I´m a little bit stressed out of driving in such a huge city, like Toronto is. And when I see, how many lanes, could North American highways have, it´s making me a little bit nervous, because here, in Slovakia, 4 lanes in one direction on highway is maximum 😀 J

[@valerien6514]

Even if I go to Union Station by public transport from the airport, I need to take a regular bus or subway from Union, is it possible to use it with luggage? I wonder if Toronto's buses, streetcars and subways are convenient to travel with a suitcase? Is it crowded?

[@LivinginCanada]

The bus from the airport has a special compartment for luggage, but yes, it can get super crowded. I prefer to take an uber if I have a lot of luggage. Btw, there's the UP express you can take to downtown which may be more convenient!

[@MeiLee-t2v]

Could you cover this entire topic from the perspective of an outsider who just wants to get to the city? We know that "Union" means Union Station, which is downtown Toronto, but they do not know that. We also know that "Pearson" refers to the airport, but they don't know that either. I myself have had to explain this to many confused foreigners, arriving in Canada for the first time. They do not want to take Uber or taxis.

[@LivinginCanada]

Yeah, it's a good point to use the full names so it's clearer to newcomers. I guess I got so used to just saying 'Pearson' :)

[@denismccarthy9189]

I'm an outsider and have never been to Toronto but am going in a few weeks. I understood it perfectly well. Maybe people who do not have English as their first language may need clarification.

[@twishadalwadi5107]

After landing and booking taxi how to make the payment as bank account is not opened?PLEASE ANSWER AND HELP ME

[@LivinginCanada]

Use your credit card to pay for uber/lyft, you can register your foreign credit card.

[@nilrkh5210]

Hello, can we pay uber by cash? for us not having credit card and first time arriving Canada

[@leonardoleon6440]

Hello 🤗 so if I need to get to Hamilton I'm just need to take go bus from the airport Lester and that's it ?

[@LivinginCanada]

I think you meant Pearson airport :-). But yes, you can take the GO Train. Check out gotransit for the exact connection and times.

[@tammizhang2334]

​@@LivinginCanada *GO bus 🚌🚌🚌

[@thitiklinpon4221]

If I don’t have the cell phone plan yet. I understand that the airport has wifi so it’s ok for calling uber but once we leave the airport, does the app still be able to deduct the fare if I no longer connect to the internet? (Assuming that I pre-filled the card information in the app)

[@LivinginCanada]

I believe you'd need to have internet to access the details. But I would guess that the system can still deduct the fare, as long as you have your credit card information in it...but I've never done it without connection so not sure. Good luck!

[@khandyk9461]

Does the public transportation run 24/7 or the up express?

[@LivinginCanada]

I don't think so. As far as I know it starts in the morning around 5am+ and the last ride is after midnight.

[@arwaothman9017]

Hello how are you. My son is traveling to çanada after 5 days can you please explain how he charges arome to live and explain how he can go to kitchen ener form Toronto airport. Thanks for your help

[@LivinginCanada]

I've never traveled from Pearson to Kitchener before, sorry. I would check out google for the bus connections, I'm pretty sure there's a Bus to Kitchener. If anyone's familiar with this route, please chip in! Thanks

[@mohhana3964]

Please if you can help me i need to go from pearson airport to kitchener waterloo airport ? How to go?

[@LivinginCanada]

You can start with googlemaps, and then check the schedules and ticket prices at gotransit.com

[@arjunchokkamaman1945]

The rate difference b/w Canada and USA might be due to currency. 85 USD is roughly equal to 113 CAD as of this writing. Your channel is super helpful btw :)

[@LivinginCanada]

I also thought that at first, but then checked again to see that both prices were quoted in CAD. But thanks for giving it a thought!

[@nourredineel.hamiani8239]

[@shizumaakiyama3129]

When people say you have to give a tip. With a cab costing 61 dollars… no tip for you.

[@LivinginCanada]

Tipping is such a contentious topic. Although I always tips, I do believe that the point of tipping is that it has to be a voluntary appreciation of the service and it's up to the person tipping.

[@islandgirl3330]

They have to lift your luggage in and out of the cab. It would be very impolite not to give the driver at least a 10 percent tip. I live near to Union Station. I would give15 percent. It all depends on how much I ask them to do. It depends on what you can afford. You don't have to, if you can't afford to. I find in the US, they seem to expect big tips. Toronto drivers know that a lot of people can't afford big tips.

[@slimdog8760]

YYZ not YYzzzzzzzzz

[@justwilly6778]

My advice - avoid this airport

[@LivinginCanada]

What are other options?

[@MeiLee-t2v]

@@LivinginCanada, what about Toronto City Airport? It is much closer to downtown. Used to be only Porter Airlines would fly there. Has that changed?
