Transportation Methods of Transportation - Public Transit — Airport to Downtown Express Bus: The Sheraton Centre Toronto does not have its own shuttle service.

Fees: Adult one-way $15.50 / Adult round-trip $26.75 / Student/Senior one-way $14.00 / Student/Senior round-trip $26.75. You may buy tickets on-line and get a 10% reduction.

- Public Transit — Airport to Downtown City Bus: There is a city bus (TTC) that runs from the airport to the Kipling subway station which will leave passengers at the Queen Street station, one block from the Sheraton. Cost right now is only $2.25 and it takes about one hour — or about 20 minutes more than a cab or 15 minutes more than a shuttle bus (but you do have to wait for the city bus) [schedules]. Look for #192 Airport Rocket South on the Arrivals level of all terminals. Take the bus to the Kipling Subway Station. Take subway East to Yonge Street, then transfer South to Queen Street. Walk one block West on Queen Street to Sheraton (there is also an underground mall throughout the downtown, so you can walk from Queen Street station to the Sheraton underground).
