Getting to Pearson
#92
(06-30-2017, 03:32 PM).danbrotherston Wrote: To be honest, I find that an ironic statement.  For me, traveling to Pearson, the mode is irrelevant so long as I'm on the 401.  The singular source of anxiety I have getting to my flight is whether there will be an accident on the 401.  If there is, it doesn't matter if I'm in a car or bus I will probably miss my flight.  The ONLY solution to that is getting frequent GO train service.

I take probably 20-30 flights per year from YYZ, mostly for work.  I drive for my short US trips (6:30 AM departure so leave Kitchener at 4 AM!) and either drive or take Blackcar for long ones.  I don't stress traffic, I leave enough time that the odds of missing the flight are small, and even more for overseas flights.  Blackcar is good because I can either work or sleep. Smile

But that said, I'd be all over a frequent train connection to the airport.  Or maybe even a frequent bus.
