Looks like the Better Way may be the 'only' way to match this weekend:

Thanks for the heads up. "The city says it’s a good weekend for a closure because no major events are scheduled downtown.". I guess 30,000 people at the CNE grounds on Sunday to attend a soccer match is a minor gathering. Haha.

Good luck to those coming in from the north. Google says TTC from Newmarket would take 1hr and 33 mins assuming you make the connections

Water taxis are great in NYC to get around rush hour. Might work in these cases if we had anything like that here. I guess not a strong business case for them in TO.

LOL

If your coming in from Newmarket, go to Downsview station or Wilson, not Finch.

If coming from west-end, I have found that parking at Kipling and taking the subway to Dufferin and bus down saves a lot of time.

Dufferin is closed at Queen st west. We're all screwed.

Ossington bus is a decent option for the bloor line.

It's almost like they're trying to make it as difficult as possible for people to get to the game. I wonder if there's an Argo fan on the city's transportation planning board. ;)

That's just a closure of the new underpass portion of Dufferin, the bus is still operating and diverting to what used to be the Dufferin bus route (Peel/Gladstone/Queen).

Go Train it is!

Note that there is also a partial reduction of service on the Lakeshore West line, between Appleby and Aldershot g:D As I'm in the east end, I'm not even sure where these stations are.

Just a note for Sunday's game: the highway is closed and all transit options are shut down for scheduled maintenance. Plan accordingly.

Well if you want to look at that connection...our mayor use to run the CFL '96-'00.

Appleby - eastern Burlington
Aldershot - western Burlington

I note that it's only certain trains that end at Appleby - the 6:13 from Union is one of them (and is the first one after the game).

Until the last 3 years, GO only put stations where they could build massive parking lots. They still see themselves as a commuter to the downtown core service.

Sunday looks looks like a nice day for a bike ride.

This season there used to be a ton of bike racks near the NW entrance to the field. Sadly they've been gone & not replaced since the Ex. Very annoying. I'll likely be fighting with FYR for the last decent spot to lock a bike.

The same mayor I head on CBC radio today saying that its not a bad weekend with all our sports teams not in action.

I wasn't taking a shot at Tory, sorry if that was misunderstood...I was merely quoting what he said on the radio.

Its all good, I am.

Just get tired of the ignorance and double speak from all politicians. There never is a good time to have a road closure, but if the Jays were playing you know the city would do its best to compromise.

A little bit of good transportation news for the game at least:
