- Thread starter black booty lover
- Start date
Exactly..otherwise 3 bucks? https://www.ttc.ca/Riding_the_TTC/Airport_service.jsp
From Dufferin and Wilson the limo is 42
It's a ridiculous high fair. The Go Train in Malton just a kilometer north will cost you 9$. Don't get why they didn't just built a light rail from the corner of Airport and Dixie to Pearson.
Guessing the GTAA hot it's greedy hands in all of this. Funny how all those public servants became the executives of the private corporation when Molruny privatized Pearson.
Oh how I love the Cons and their privatized crown corporations and how their buddy always ends up with nice jobs.
Take Mike Duffy.
Rakes a bribe but the guy that gave the money did not make a bribe. Only in Con ruled Canada.

That price is for 1 time rides, like the $3 TTC fares.
The cost is lowere if you get Metrolinks Presto Card.
The one thing you cannot buy is time. The time that you will likely be stuck in taxi/car traffic during business hours. 20-25 mins versus 60+ mins.
Lastly, I limo or taxi ride from Pearson to Toronto Downtown is $65 flat rate.

Expect it would take close to 20-25 minutes before you are even on a bus union station. Add bus travel time, transferring to and waiting for the UP, UP travel time. During rush hour I have seen people standing in long line ups to get on a bus. Not sure what is going on there, but could be that the travel time on the busses and subways also takes longer during rush hour
Can drive to the airport in about 30 - 40 minutes outside of rush hour.
So are you asking the rest of Canada to chip in from taxes, or just everyone in Toronto? Or should we have coin-op turnstiles at the Terminal doors with the proceeds keeping the UPX fares where you say they should be? I'm just curious.
The real issue isn't how much one-time tickets cost but whether the Richbux fare structure keeps poor airport workers relegated to lesser transport — something the MetroLinx\Presto card rate is meant to fix — and whether they got the rate right so UPX doesn't become a drain instead of the investment it was meant to be.
On Duffy you're right, but next time it'll be self-righteous Liberals or NDP that get caught in their empty pieties and lying promises. Cons aren't special, just in power now and then.
I agree with your statement however the guy who made the check to Duffy did not benefit personally from the transaction or requested something in return from Duffy. They could not charge him. Even if they did, it will not hold in court
To go back to the airport express , yes Go train to Malton station and cab from there to pearson is a cheaper alternative
Shows that it's too cheap in comparison to drive to the airport, maybe we should put a toll on the Gardiner and 400 hwys to reflect their true costs to maintain.
lol, There no problem that cant be solved with higher taxes. You must be a member of Wynne's Liberal team.
And the cost of everything you buy goes always downward? Not even governments get something for nothing; that's just the line the pols—Ford, Harper, Hudak being the clearest current examples—use to flim-flam dimwitted voters.
But I digress, you were telling us how money never solved any of your problems …
I think they have priced it to fail. Consider a family travelling or even a couple- it quickly prices itself out of more convenient travel.
well, other than a few people downtown, or people who don't want to be in a car in rush hour, it just doesn't make any sense to me. it's more of a pain in the ass just to get to Union station, not to mention for a few bucks more you can find some type of private driver/taxi that will charge you $45.00.

At the bigger hotels downtown I've seen a coach service that takes people to and from the airport. Don't know how much it costs.
True, but there are a shitload of condos within walking distance of union station now.
Perfect for them.
Yes but walking and walking carrying luggage are two different things. Also unless travelling alone it's not cost competitive
This link from the past is an interesting read.

"for time pressed business travellers"
"$2 GTAA Airport parking fee" for lost revenue from not parking etc
Only ones who came out good like all these tax dollar funded projects are governments personnel, their families and friends who get kick backs, contracts, high paying jobs etc.
Oh Canada, the large third world country.
