Ground Transport Tips for YYZ

Only use official taxi ranks or pre-booked apps at Toronto Pearson International Airport. Avoid unofficial drivers approaching you in arrivals.
If a rail or metro connection exists, it is usually the fastest and most reliable option during rush hour.
Allow extra time for ground transport during peak hours. Toronto city traffic can significantly extend journey times.
Download offline maps for Toronto before landing — useful if your data connection is slow on arrival.
If travelling with heavy luggage, a private transfer or taxi is often more practical than public transport.
