Subway:
Take the 192 Airport Rocket (bus) to Kipling station. The bus runs every half an hour or so, less often off-peak, and you need exact change to pay ($3.00). It stops at all the terminals, but you may need to go up or down a floor from arrivals (

). From Kipling station, take the subway 15 stops to St. George (no need to pay again - the bus fare includes the subway transfer). Walk south on St. George St. (turn left at Harbord/Hoskins if going to Massey) about 0.7 km to 60 St. George. This is a 15-story tower with small telescope domes on the roof, set back 100 m from St. George St. Trip takes about 50 minutes. If you have luggage and are coming to CITA, you may wish to change to the Spadina street car at Spadina station, and get off at Willcocks. Walk east on Coxwell to Huron, turn south and enter the tower on the east side just before Russell Street, about a 3 minute walk.
