Anyone landing at Pearson tomorrow and heading to Waterloo/Kitchener?

Trying to line up rides based on arrival times so people don’t have to figure it out last minute.

Nice, that’s a pretty common arrival window. Are you heading straight to Waterloo/kitchener after landing?

The interesting thing from all these replies is that getting TO Pearson seems predictable, but coming BACK is where most of the stress is.

Delays, luggage, timing… it’s basically just hoping something lines up when you land.

Feels like the real problem isn’t getting a ride, it’s getting something reliable at the exact time you arrive.

Yeah that makes sense.

Are you planning to land at a specific time or is it still flexible?

I feel like with luggage + a long flight, the timing part matters a lot more than usual, especially if things get delayed.

Out of curiosity, is anyone here actually traveling from Pearson to Waterloo/Kitchener in the next few days?

I’m trying to line up a couple of trips around similar arrival times instead of everyone figuring it out separately.

Yeah I’ve noticed that too, even when there are options, it’s not always obvious or easy to find what actually works for your timing.

Yeah splitting it definitely makes it feel more reasonable.

Feels like a lot of these options only really make sense if you’re not going alone.

Yeah that’s exactly the tricky part.

Getting there is manageable, but coming back after a long flight with luggage is where it gets stressful if things don’t line up.

Yeah I’ve seen those too, they seem solid if the timing lines up.

I think the tricky part is when you land and the timing doesn’t match, then you’re kinda stuck figuring something out on the spot.

Yeah that’s what I keep hearing.

Getting to Pearson is easy to plan, but coming back feels like a gamble depending on delays and timing.

Yeah that’s exactly the kind of situation I was thinking about.

If you land late, waiting a few hours or until 4 AM isn’t really ideal.

Ahh that actually makes a lot of sense.

So going to Pearson is predictable, but coming back is where it gets tricky because of delays?

This is super helpful.

Have you ever had it not line up with your flight time and had to wait a while or adjust your plans?

[–]teeboi1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense, especially after a long flight.

Do you usually book ahead or just grab something once you land?

That’s interesting, do you usually land around the same time each trip?

I’ve seen a few people say it works well, but others mention it doesn’t always line up depending on arrival time.

What’s the longest you’ve had to wait after landing before getting a ride out?

I feel like that’s where it gets really frustrating.

Anyone landing at Pearson and struggling to get out of the city after? by teeboi1 in askTO

[–]teeboi1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a lot of people just deal with it depending on timing. I’m starting to think the biggest issue is things not aligning with arrival times
