BMO Field sits in Exhibition Place along Toronto’s waterfront, an area well served by the city’s streetcar network rather than the subway. Fans coming from outside the city have a solid regional rail option too.
Best Ways to Get to BMO Field (Ranked)
1. TTC Streetcars 509 or 511 to Exhibition Loop
- Route: Board either the 509 Harbourfront or 511 Bathurst streetcar and ride to Exhibition Loop, a short walk from BMO Field.
- Price: Standard TTC fare.
- Why it works: Both routes connect easily from downtown Toronto, and Exhibition Loop puts you right at the venue’s doorstep.
- Downside: Streetcars share the road with car traffic, so travel time can stretch on event days with heavier street congestion.
2. GO Transit Lakeshore West Line
- Route: Take a GO Train on the Lakeshore West Line to Exhibition Station, directly adjacent to the stadium grounds.
- Price: Standard GO Transit fare, distance-based.
- Why it works: The best option for fans coming from outside downtown Toronto or from communities along the Lakeshore West corridor, since it skips city streetcar traffic entirely.
- Downside: Service frequency outside peak commuter hours is lower than the streetcar network, so check the schedule against your kickoff time.
3. TTC Bus 29 Dufferin
- Route: The 29 Dufferin bus runs near Exhibition Place from the Dufferin corridor.
- Price: Standard TTC fare.
- Why it works: A useful backup if you’re coming from along Dufferin Street and the streetcars are running behind schedule.
- Downside: Less direct than the streetcar options for most downtown starting points.
What to Book Right Now
- Load a PRESTO card before matchday to move seamlessly between TTC and GO Transit without separate ticket purchases.
- If coming from outside Toronto, check the GO Transit Lakeshore West schedule against your kickoff time in advance.
- Default to the 509 or 511 streetcar to Exhibition Loop if you’re staying downtown.
Pro Tip for Soccertimes Readers
A single PRESTO card works across both TTC and GO Transit, which matters here since the best route into BMO Field depends on whether you’re coming from inside the city or along the Lakeshore corridor. One card, no need to juggle separate fare systems.
