THINGS TO DO
Proceed to the Ground Level for ground
transportation. Go outside and find column
R4 (TTC Stop). Wait for bus 192 – ROCKET
to Kipling Subway Station. Enter the subway
station and proceed to the EASTBOUND
platform. Take the subway EAST to YONGE
station. At this station, you will transfer to
the YONGE-UNIVERSITY-SPADINA subway
line. Proceed to the SOUTHBOUND platform.
Depending on the location of your hotel, you
will get off between COLLEGE and QUEEN

be heavy due to ongoing construction. The

you are travelling through the US you will go
through customs at the Toronto Airport, which
will also require extra time.
