Access from the Airport
Public Transit
Follow the signs in the terminal towards "Public Transportation". Exit the terminal and cross onto the middle traffic island. You will see a sign for the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) (the sign has a red logo). Take the 192 Airport Rocket to Kipling subway station. You will see the #192 on the bus stop. Kipling station is the only station that the 192 bus goes to. Getting on the 192 will cost $3, and operators carry no change. Once you are at Kipling, get on the subway and travel to Yonge Station (pronounced YOUNG) (about 30 minutes). You do not need to pay again at Kipling, simply go downstairs and get on any subway train. Once you hit Yonge Station, exit to street level. You are within 1 block of the conference venue.
Taxi or Limo
Follow the signs in the terminal towards "Taxi or Limo". Exit the terminal. You will see a taxi stand where you line up. You can tell the taxi driver the name of the conference hotel, and also say that it is close to the intersection of Bloor St and Yonge St (pronounced YOUNG). Bloor/Yonge is a major intersection in Toronto. The cost is about $50 to the conference venue.
Caution: It rarely happens, however, individuals may talk to you inside the terminal, asking if you want a taxi. We recommend that you not go with such individuals. Use the official taxi stand.
Car Rental
We do not recommend car rental, however, if you wish to rent a car, all the usual companies operate out of Toronto's airport, e.g., Hertz, Budget, Thrifty, etc. Note that traffic in Toronto is quite congested, especially in the downtown.
Parking at the Conference Venue
The hotel only has valet parking for $35/day. There is, however, a cheaper parking lot located behind the conference hotel. We are investigating that.
