About Toronto

From the Airport to Metropolitan Hotel

There are 2 convenient ways of getting to Metropolitan Hotel from Toronto's Lester B.Pearson International Airport:

Airport Express <http://www.torontoairportexpress.com>
$14.25CAD one-way or $24.50CAD return
Buses depart every 30mins, and they are available close to 24 hours. (4am - 2am) Take the purple [Hotel Direct] shuttle and it stops right at Metropolitan Hotel.
Please check the web site for more information and a complete schedule. You can also purchase ticket online.
Limousine & Taxi <http://www.lbpia.toronto.on.ca/gettinghere/taxis_limos.asp>
Flat rate / one-way: Taxi - $39CAD; Limo - $43CAD
We would suggest Limo for only $4 more, which is much more comfortable.

We would not suggest public transit (local buses/subway) because you have to make a number of connect changes.
