Plan a visit
Keep the same payment method when changing TTC services
TTC fares paid with a PRESTO card, PRESTO Ticket, debit or credit card, including a mobile wallet, include a two-hour transfer from the first tap. Use the same card, ticket or device for each tap. Cash fares do not include that two-hour transfer.
Pearson and Union have a rail connection
UP Express connects Toronto Pearson International Airport and Union Station. Its Pearson station is in Terminal 1.
A few things to know
Downtown has another pedestrian layer
PATH is a mostly underground network of walkways connecting downtown buildings, shops, services and public transit. The City traces Toronto's first underground path to a tunnel joining two Eaton's buildings in 1900.
The waterfront includes connected islands
Toronto Island is a collection of islands linked by multi-use trails and bridges. The City’s visitor information describes walking and cycling between them.
Nuit Blanche turns the city into an overnight art venue
Toronto’s Nuit Blanche presents free contemporary art across the city overnight. The City announces a programme for each edition.

Questions to take into a coffee chat
Use one that matches what you want to learn. These are suggested questions, not statements from employees or claims about office culture.
What would you check before choosing between a downtown commute and living farther from this office?
Has the PATH changed how you get around on office days, or do you mostly use street-level routes?
Which part of Toronto did you start exploring after moving here, and what would you recommend for a first visit?
Ask a follow-up about the person’s own experience, and check whether it applies to your target office and role.
