LongTimeLurker Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Yes and public transport is reliable enough that it's easy enough to get around the city that way: http://ttc.ca/Fares_and_passes/Passes/Weekly_pass.jsp 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was in Toronto from Wednesday to Wednesday so it wasn't much use having a pass that ran from Monday to Sunday. Ended up planning things we couldn't walk to for the weekend as the family ticket covers two adults even if you aren't travelling with kids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, sometimes on the TTC you have to get creative in order for it to make sense financially but the weekly pass should work for the OP as I believe he said he's in the T-dot Sunday-Sunday. Montreal is a bit more versatile in that they have 3 day passes that you can use on 3 consecutive days Ottawa is the worst as we don't have most of these products, although the day pass acting as a family pass on weekends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider buying a Presto card https://www.prestocard.ca/en/ You can buy them at Pearson Airport and use it to take the train from there to Union Station, you can also use it on all forms of public transit in the area, not just TTC. It can be topped up online and at various machines at subway stations etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Cheers folks. I shall look into the Presto card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mon_The_Fife Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Niagara Falls, Ontario is without doubt, the weirdest town I’ve ever visited. Blackpool of Canada. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Niagara Falls is a complete dump of a town. The waterfalls are impressive, the casinos and tat shops that make up the rest of the town aren’t as impressive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Niagara Falls, Ontario is bizarre. The falls are amazing yet the area of Clifton Hill is dreadful - like Blackpool x100. The rest of the town, such as where the bus station is, (which I assume is the old town) is dead. A complete ghost town. Nice park in Niagara Falls, New York. Didn't venture into the town much though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I only went through Niagara On The Lake briefly on the bus. Really liked Toronto though. Getting around was dead easy and it was quite a nice city to walk around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Niagara on the lake is a stunning town, it feels like it’s a big film set with a surreal look about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Finally got myself sorted out for Canada eTA passport etc so now I need a plan I'm thinking a day in Toronto wandering round and then get the train to Montreal 3/4 days there and then back to Toronto for 5 days I think. While I'm in Canada I'm keen to take in some American sports and also I see that Toronto's "soccer" team are at home while I'm there has anyone taken in a game as a tourist or do these things tend to sell out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFC are usually pretty close to a sell-out so if you want to get a ticket get one early. Depending on when you are coming over it should be easy to get Blue Jays and Argonauts tickets as well, Hockey games (either in Montreal or Toronto) are a lot harder to get and they may not be playing depending on when you are coming 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I went to see the Maple Leafs when I was there and I just bought my ticket from the box office. It was about £100 mind and when I sat in my seat, the waiter came over! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will look back through the thread but any tips welcome. I have flown with them a few times, mostly to the Caribbean and have never had a problem. They are low frills and you don't get much in the way of leg room or seat width (their A330's are 9 abreast in economy) so if you are big and/or tall you might find a flight to Vancouver rough but if you are a short guy like me then it should be fine. You may want to double check on their website but I believe you get a meal on the flight (because the Government of Canada mandates it for long flights). Certainly don't expect free booze though Edited August 27, 2018 by senorsoupe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S7C Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Air Transat are fine. Taken them to both Vancouver and Toronto on multiple occasions and I've never had any problems. Vancouver is one of my favourite cities anywhere. Especially in summer. Winter is just non-stop rain, although last winter was colder than usual. Grinds to a halt whenever there's snow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
