Public Transit: Your Eco-Friendly Chariot
Looking to save some green (and be kind to the planet!)? Public transit is your BFF. Here are your options:
Streetcar: Hop on the 509 Harbourfront westbound from Union Station and disembark at Exhibition Loop. It's a chill ride with some pretty sweet views of the waterfront (bonus points for pretending you're sailing on a pirate ship, but maybe keep that to yourself).
GO Train: Catch a GO Train to Exhibition GO Station. It's a short walk from there, and hey, maybe you'll spot some cool trains along the way (because who doesn't love trains?).
Bus: There are several buses that can get you close to Budweiser Stage. Just consult the trusty TTC website or app and plan your route. Bonus points if you manage to snag a window seat and people-watch.
Remember: Public transit can get crowded, especially after a concert. Be prepared to cozy up with your fellow music lovers (and maybe bring some deodorant, just sayin').
Taxi/Rideshare: The Speedy (but Pricey) Escape
Time is of the essence and you've gotta get there in a flash? Taxis or rideshares are your knights in shining armor (or should we say, shining cars?). Just be prepared to shell out some extra dough, especially if there's surge pricing (because let's be honest, everyone else will be trying to get there too).
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
Pro Tip: Download a rideshare app beforehand and set up your payment method. It'll save you precious minutes when the concert FOMO is kicking in.
Biking Like a Boss: The Two-Wheeled Warrior
Feeling particularly energetic (and own a bike)? Pedal your way to Budweiser Stage! There are bike lanes most of the way, and there's nothing quite like arriving at a concert with the wind in your hair (or helmet, for safety reasons). Just be sure to factor in parking your bike and locking it securely.
Word to the Wise: Toronto traffic can be a beast. If you're not a seasoned cyclist, maybe this option is best left for another day.
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.
