Parking/Transit:
Parking is generally expensive and hard to find for the U of Toronto St. George campus; we do not recommend driving/parking.
Transit is readily available in the form of buses, streetcars, and trains. Train tickets can be bought at the station, bus tokens can be bought from many places (campus bookstore, 7/11, etc). Check ttc.ca for information on routes and fares.
All of the above mentioned accommodations (and those in similar vicinity) are within 10-25 minute walk to campus/workshop venue.
Getting Here:
- Airports:
- Pearson International - YYZ, main airport about ~45 minutes from downtown. From the airport to downtown can take cab/uber and it will cost ~50-60$ (going back to the airport via Uber may be cheaper). There is the UP express train which runs from Union Station to the airport and takes about 25/30 minutes and is 12$ one way, or buses (for info see ttc.ca).
- Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport: much smaller airport located near downtown on Toronto islands. There is a pedestrian tunnel, a ferry, or airport shuttle for getting to and from downtown/the airport.
- Trains:
- Amtrak has service to nearby cities (e.g. York, ON). The trains arrive at Union Station which connects directly to the ttc subway line.
