* '''[http://www.ttc.ca/Riding_the_TTC/Airport_service.jsp TTC (Toronto Transit Commission)]''' operates bus service from the subway to Pearson airport at standard fare ($3.25 (no change is provided), get a transfer from the driver to make connections to other TTC vehicles). The quickest TTC option is the 192 Airport Rocket that runs every 10 minutes or better to/from Kipling Station on Line 2 (the closest subway station), making the journey in 20–25 minutes. Another option is the 52 Lawrence West running east-west between the airport and Lawrence/Lawrence West stations on Line 1, but this is a local bus route with frequent stops. This bus also runs every 10 minutes or better. Tokens are also sold from token machines near the airport. Tokens are priced at $2.90 each and are sold in sets of three or higher. If paying with Presto $2.90 is deducted as well. For those 65 and above or 13-19 the fare is $2.00 cash and $1.95 with tickets / Presto. Kids 12 & under ride for free. While the airport is technically outside Toronto for transit fare zone purposes it is considered to be within Toronto. Therefore there is ''no Mississauga fare supplement needed'' when traveling to/from the airport.

* When the subways isn't running between 01;30 and 05:30 (08:00 on Sundays), the 300A Bloor-Danforth night bus provides service along Line 2 of the subway and goes directly to the airport. Also connecting to the airport are the 332 Eglinton West night bus and the 352 Lawrence West night bus. These busses are once again local routes and don't head downtown.

* In Terminal 1, there are two TTC ticket vending machines selling single fare tickets, located at the Public Transit area of the Ground Transportation Level, just inside from where the TTC buses stop (curbside, at column "R"). In Terminal 3, you can purchase single fare tickets at the Currency Exchange counter located on the arrivals level. The TTC is the best option for those whose main concerns are connectivity and value. The 192 bus
supports
fare payment by the Presto card but, until
December
2016,
the
52,
300
and
most
other
TTC
buses
do
not.

* '''[http://www.gotransit.com/public/en/travelling/airport.aspx GO Transit]''' is the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area's commuter and regional bus system. It's primary purpose is to connect outer suburbs with downtown. However it doesn't provide that kind of connectivity with downtown since that role is provided by the UP Express. Route 34 – (Pearson Airport/North York) express coach buses stop at Yorkdale, Sheppard-Yonge, North York Centre, and Finch subway stations in [[Toronto/North York]]. One-way adult fare is $6.40; most GO Buses have under-floor compartments for luggage and the driver does make change. The fare is also payable by Presto, with a slight discount. Yorkdale is 15-20 minutes from Pearson by freeway, and another 15-20 minutes by subway to downtown Toronto (TTC does not accept GO or any other system's transfers as fare media.). GO Busses on this route run every 30-60 minutes between 05:00 and 01:00 7-days a week. Go Transit route 40 provides connections from the airport to the outer suburbs of [[Richmond Hill (Ontario)|Richmond Hill,]] [[Mississauga]], and [[Oakville (Ontario)|Oakville]], as well as the city of [[Hamilton (Ontario)|Hamilton.]]
