Getting to Pearson

[danbrotherston]

I'm impressed by the hoops that some seem willing to go through to get to the airport.  I've had the experience of using Airways Transit when the 401 was bunged up - the dispatch alerted the driver and we took detours (twice!) to get around the problems.  I think we lost perhaps ten to fifteen minutes on the trip.

Yes, and that's a great argument for transit of some type, because they have dispatching and stuff, but it's still possible to be on the road between exits when a collision completely shuts the highway.  I've been there, sat for hours in the middle of the 401 before police re-opened.  Fortunately I was returning home, and didn't miss a flight, but it could still happen.
