Getting to Pearson

[plam]

I think the 9:30 one might be worse than taking the GO train and then UP.

How so?

I have a flight on May 9 around 1:30PM so this is very relevant to me. for the 9th Greyhound's schedule shows Charles St.  09:30 AM to Pearson 10:50 AM.

Just the train from Kitchener-Malton is either 7:10-8:41 on GO (1:31 duration) or 9:18-10:32 on VIA (1:14). With the additional time for a taxi or TTC bus from Malton, or carrying on to Weston and taking UPX back, the Greyhound looks to be substantially shorter, and cheaper - the "web-only" fare for this trip is listed as $7.80 right now.

Train may be more comfortable.

Turns out Google Maps suggests taking the GO 30 at 9:58 and then the 115 to arrive at the airport for noon. This is $18, so Greyhound would be cheaper and shorter. The VIA plus 52 is 1h40 but more expensive. GO train plus UP is 2h20. But it's easier to get the tickets.
