Toronto Limo and Airport Taxi Tips from Pearson

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 19, 2012 -- How do you get to Toronto's city from the airport? Do you take an airport taxi? A train? Or a Toronto limo?

As a visitor, you can judge a city or country's economy by its transportation system. Upon your arrival at an airport, a truly globalized city will have a swift system of trains and railways that will connect you from that terminal to anywhere in the city. Toronto, Canada is such a city. The TTC or Toronto Transit Commission is a convenient and safe way to get from any airport in the city to any of its districts.

This is, of course, unless your arrival is at Pearson International Airport.

It goes by more than one name: Toronto Pearson International Airport, Lester B. Pearson International Airport and simply Toronto Pearson. It is about 22 kilometers north of Downtown Toronto, which is the city's central business district.

Unfortunately, the local transportation does not provide a train service to and from Pearson. Instead, it offers a bus service called the 192 Airport Rocket. The 192 Airport Rocket Takes people to and from Bloor-Danforth Subway and Pearson International Airport. This service is open from 5 am to 2 am everyday. The travel time for a one-way trip is 20 to 30 minutes.

For those who might find having to go to Bloor-Danforth inconvenient, there are other ways to get to Toronto from Pearson.

The first way is to take an airport taxi. Some people might be wary of taxis because they can be expensive and because they can be subject to overcharges, but this is not true in Toronto. In fact, Toronto taxis have a reputation for being very fair and friendly.

The local government has worked with taxi companies and unions to provide affordable and safe Toronto airport taxi services for tourists and locals alike. Toronto airport taxis today charge a fixed rate of 50 Canadian dollars from Pearson International to the downtown business district. Metered fares start at 1.3 Canadian dollars and increase at 1.50 CAD for every additional kilometer.

Another way to get to the city from Pearson airport is to rent a car or a Toronto limousine service. These rent-a-car companies and Toronto limo agencies can be pre-booked by going to their websites and by calling them. Some car rental services and Toronto limousines may also be found waiting at the terminal for passengers with no reservations. Such services are ideal for families, groups of friends, or for sharing with other passengers. In this context, they are very affordable. The local government also monitors and screens Toronto limousines services and car rentals to ensure the safety of tourists whether they are pre-booked or not.

There are also shuttle and bus services that will take you directly to any of the hotels in the business district. The fare per person is about 16 Canadian dollars. These shuttle services, however are known to be quite slow as they take about an hour and half to weave through the city's traffic.
