    Default Union Station to BMO via TTC/GO??

    As I'm not from TO, I was hoping one (or more) of you could tell me the best way to get to BMO field from Union Station via public transit (either TTC or GO) for tomorrow's game. Your advice would be very much appreciated. Sid

    If you are taking GO, take it West towards Hamilton and get off at Exhibition.

    The GO Train & TTC bring you right to BMO field basically...

    The GO Train is faster, as it doesn't stop between Union and Exhibition - however, it only leaves once an hour...

    The street car brings you to almost the same spot, but stops multiple times along the way...

    If you arrive at Union 30-mins past the hour - grab the GO at xx:43, you'll be at BMO for xx:49...

    If you arrive at Union at the top of the clock to about 20-25 after, grab the street car...

    Carts...

    I love riding the sreet car on that line. Its such a cool thing. I love the street car underground. I wish I had a reason to use the Queens Quay stop more often.

    personally i HATE the streetcar...more so on exhibition days...so sid allot yourself more time for tomorrow cuz its gonna be ridiculous.
    if you can(aka you're on the lakeshore line) take the go train to exhibition. much more convenient and comfortable!

    If you are taking the streetcar make sure that you leave early (huge lineups) and that you stand near the doors because they get really packed on game days.

    That streetcar from Union is a REAL bitch when there is a TFC game and the EX going on at the same time. Last Season I left at the normal time to get to a game that I always do because I forgot the EX was going on. In the end I missed half of the game because the line was just that damn long to get on the streetcar. I know people already warned you but seriously this line was soooo long!

    Walk. ~50 - 60 minutes. You're going to eat two chip butties and a beer. Walk there, and walk back. )

    I did that once. It was a nice walk, with pretty good scenery.

    Otherwise, I'd go for the 509 streetcar from Union.
