don't want to take airport limo as it will cost 60 bucks. any cheaper options? for example bus or other forms of transportation.

may consider parking at the airport.
anywhere to park at the airport for cheap, will be parking for 14 days.

Mississauga Transit. $2.50 or whatever the fare is. Bus goes from the airport right to Square One. Route #107 IIRC. Forgive me, I live in Western Canada, but it worked really well last time I took it..

+1, it is Route 7 South from Terminal 1. (If you arrived in terminal 3, you have to take the free Link train across to Terminal 1.)

OP, be warned, I have done it before and it's a major pain in the behind. It's pretty inconvenient to get on there with your suitcase and stuff. You'll probably be taking up multiple seats and will be jammed in there with normal bus commuters.

After trying this once, I have paid the money for a taxi on subsequent trips.

For airport parking, you could try Hotel Indigo, they have a shuttle service taking you to the airport. I think this is cheaper than the usual suspects for Airport parking. Just make sure to leave a pair of jumper cables in your car and a tire pump in case you have technical difficulties upon your return.

Nah, its no big deal. No worse than taking the bus to go grocery shopping, and having a few bags in tow. Or kids. If you go rush hour, sure it might be packed, but during the daytime never seems to be a problem/all that full for me.

For $30 saved on a cab, quite frankly, suck it up... :lol:

I suppose it depends on your tolerance for inconvenience and your amount of disposable income. :lol:

107 is a lot faster if your trip takes place during weekday rush hours.
You'll need to take the LINK train to the Viscount Station to catch that bus.

There's also GO Transit.
Obv. more than 'suaga transit but more comfortable and quicker.
Info will be on their website.

GO Transit doesn't have a direct route from Square One to Pearson Airport.

Guess they changed that. I took it a few years ago (I think 2-3?)
