I'm mexican and I'm flying to Toronto to meet some friends, they live in Burlington (that's about 55 km away from yyz) and they tell me that a taxi will cost me $70 to get there. Are there any trains or buses that go to Burlington or maybe one that will get me close? Thanks.Is there a cheaper way to go from Toronto airport to Burlington than a $70 taxi?
From Toronto Pearson Airport:
1) Take the miWay (Mississauga Transit) number 7 bus from Pearson Airport Terminal 1 or Terminal 3.
2) Get off at the Square One Bus Terminal.
3) Transfer to the miWay 19 bus at Square One Bus Terminal heading south.
4) Get off at Port Credit GO station.
5) Take the Aldershot-bound (westbound) Lakeshore West GO train at Port Credit.
6) Get off at either Appleby, Burlington or Aldershot GO stations.
A one way GO train ticket from Port Credit to those following destinations are as follows:
Appleby: $6.50CDN
Burlington: $6.70CDN
Aldershot $7.45CDN
On top of your miWay fare of $3.00CDN, the prices for GO train fares from Port Credit to these stations are as follows:
Appleby: $9.50CDN
Burlington: $9.70CDN
Aldershot: $10.45CDN
There was one time that a GO bus runs from Pearson Airport to Square One Bus Terminal, but that was discontinued/scrapped early this year. Also, if you were to take the 40 GO bus route and transfer to the 21 GO bus through Toronto Union and take the Lakeshore West GO train, you still have to go through Toronto Union Station - just to take the GO train to those destinations.

I hope this helps.
-p.s. you may have your question answered on another forum within this site.Is there a cheaper way to go from Toronto airport to Burlington than a $70 taxi?
Have one of them pick you up! You just flew all the way for Mexico and they can't meet you at the airport? Nice friends.
