I need to confirm whether I want a taxi ride before the end of the day.
It only takes about 45 mins to get to the airport at a respectable clip, but there isn't a "good" route. I've had (volunteered) to deliver out there a few times and it's just ugly with sub-urban and industrial ugliness with drivers/streets to match. The average car speeds are higher and the outside lanes are as slim as any other. Unless your doing it strictly for the exercise take a cab cause it's just plain not a fun ride once you're past egg & duff

[edit] it did make me homesick for houston though, outside of downtown much of toronto is car city, sadly
