    FYI in the video I referred to a train to the airport from Kipling station, it's actually a bus (missed it on the edit). Cheers!

      @@mikelandry3375 Using the bus/subway from Pearson you can be downtown in 50 minutes for $3.25!

    You have to admit, it's actually pretty amazing how you can get from downtown Toronto and all the way to the airport just bye taking the train. I never knew this line existed I have to say it's pretty convenient especially are in a wheelchair like myself. Because other types of public transit accessible taxis would be harder to get.
    I also think that airport exploration it's pretty neat, because there's always little things that you can find along your journey to your flight. When I took my trip to Disney World in 2008 our first flight was from Halifax international airport to Toronto Pearson and then hopped on a connecting flight with WestJet to Orlando Florida. We ended up with a five hour flight delay because of a major snowstorm, and during the delay I decided to go exploring around the airport with my father and we actually found another gate section with a juice bar so we decided to get a drink while we were there.

    Prior to COVID-19 it was the best way to get from downtown to YYZ. It ran every 15 minutes and you didn’t have to worry about traffic. In the afternoons after work was packed with people trying to get to the airport to catch a flight. It’s biggest competition was Uber, but from the downtown core you were looking at a 50$ ride and traffic.

    Used UPX in September 2023. This vid was one of the best i watched before i went as it all seemed very familiar once i got there instead of being a hassle finding where to go. THANK YOU!

    I’ll be there next month. I’ve missed Toronto. First time taking UP, looks so much better than the old bus. Staying at the Royal York for my first time as well. Can’t wait.

    I jump on this from Bloor Dundas subway station if I need express-speed to get down to Union. It's cheap enough for that one-hop ride - there's a whole crowd that does this. You can see how GO regional express rail is so needed; glad Metrolinx is finally expanding this properly

    Take in Pearson is connected via this train and trains are connected to the underground path and the path connects many workplaces and condos. It also connects the suburbs like Mississauga by GoTrain and then theres the indoor parking buildings at the gotrain stations in mississauga. So technically you could go from your garage in Mississauga to the gotrain station to union station, to the Path, to pearson then catch a flight to where you want in the world all whilst remaining indoors. dont have to put a coat on in the winter!

    Hi Johnny, I really enjoyed this video! I always wanted to see how it would be like to travel on the UP Express Air Rail from Union Station to the Toronto Pearson Airport it was fun but for me a little pricey. I have taken the Kipling Airport Express bus from the airport to Kipling Station and I have to say, it was a very nice ride! Thank you, this was cool!👍👍

    You are so good with your description. Once my flight is leaving while the UP Express is running, I use it because I live near to Union Station. It would be hard for me to go to Kipling because I always have a suitcase and a carry on.

    I’ve heard about this line, I may not be from Toronto but I remember hearing about expensive prices for the UP express. I still think it’s a cool way to get into the downtown core

    • @TonyYeungExe
      @TonyYeungExe 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The price is not too expensive anymore. It is 12.35CAD from the airport to Union Station.

  • @AliceKamatis
    @AliceKamatis ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for sharing this informative video. I'll be visiting Toronto and would like to use this train because my hotel is near YYZ. UP Express from Pearson to Union and back would be nice if the cost is not too much. In today's prices, can I get UP Express ticket cheaper than the one from the TVM?

    @chryseass.5143 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for this. I definitely will be taking the TTC to Terminal 3 after viewing this. The price is not the deciding factor but the not dealing with Union and all the waiting for trains. Looked comfortable though! Much appreciated to see an honest glimpse into travelling this route.

    UP should also serve as a "commuter" line providing relief for people living in Toronto's west side.

  • @jomeara0
    @jomeara0 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Sorry I missed the Premiere, I was busy 'working.' UP Express is good addition to TO transit options. But really need a direct subway link from Pearson to downtown. That would be Next Level. Lisbon has a great subway system with airport terminal, you are connected to the whole city.
    Come on Ontario and Toronto, you have a chance to make Toronto a true destination. All it takes is a little imagination - Ok never mind.

    • @pepperpillow

      Eventually there will be a connection on Line 5. Will take longer to get downtown with that but at least it will be super frequent and way cheaper.

    as someone who comes from ottawa, a city where the airport is basically cut off for anyone without a car, the UP is an absolutely incredible service. quick, no traffic, and muuuuch cheaper than an uber or taxi!
