Toronto Pearson International Airport - YYZ

The quickest way to get into Toronto is by UP Express train. 

Train

The Union Pearson Express (UP Express) opened in 2015 to take you downtown to Union Station in just 25 minutes, with trains leaving every 15 minutes, from 05:30-01:00. It stops at Bloor and Weston en route. It's not the cheapest option, but it's quick and comfortable.

Cost: CAD 12.00 one-way (discounts available for seniors, students, families and return trips, and with a Presto card)
Buying tickets: Online, on the train or at ticket vending machines or customer service desks in the stations
Location: Terminal 1

Taxi

It's a pricy journey into Toronto by taxi, and the journey can take from 30-60 minutes.

Cost: Around CAD 55 (plus 10-20% tip)
Locations: Terminal 1, Doors C&D; Terminal 3, Domestic Arrivals, Door B; Terminal 3, International Arrivals, Door F

Bus

If you want to save some money, you can take the 192 Airport Rocket, run by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), which also runs the subway. It takes you to Kipling subway station downtown in 20-25 minutes, and runs roughly every 10 minutes Mon-Sat, 05:30-02:00 and Sun, 08:15-02:15. 

Cost: USD 3 one-way

Toronto Pearson International Airport lies around 25km north-west of downtown Toronto. It has two separate terminal buildings:

• Terminal 1: A huge building handling domestic and international flights at Gates D, E, and F. It's one of the largest buildings in the world (by floor space), and so the ThyssenKrupp Express Walkway (the world's fastest) is essential for getting around quickly. 
  Airlines: Air Canada and all other Star Alliance airlines as well as Emirates operate from/to this terminal
• Terminal 3: Older, smaller terminal with Gates A, B, and C. Attached to the Sheraton Gateway Hotel.
  Airlines: all SkyTeam and Oneworld airlines as well as WestJet, Air Transat, Sunwing Airlines, Etihad Airways, and most other airlines
