Option 2 really does look awful.

Hey everyone!

I came across this latest update that could be super helpful for anyone trying to decide between a Pearson Airport limo and ride-sharing services. It’s a detailed comparison that really lays out the pros and cons to help you make the best choice for your airport travel needs. Definitely worth a look if you're planning your next trip and want something more reliable and comfortable than the usual ride-share options.

Check it out here: Pearson Airport Limo vs. Ride-Sharing: Which is the Better Option?

It’s always great to stay updated with the latest info, especially when it can impact your travel plans. Let me know what you think if you give it a read!

Wouldn't it have been easier to just buy ad space from UT?

LOL Wow!

Not to mention the browser redirect to a fake "chrome update" page.

Option 2 really does look awful.

There is (or was) also an option of an island expansion, a-la new La Guardia.

Why do I get the feeling that they are going to go with Option 2....

The very thought of that makes me shudder.

Because its the Toronto thing to do.

I hope they really meant this:

Decade-long Toronto Pearson airport expansion, renewal program underway

Officials say Toronto Pearson airport could see up to 65 million passengers a year by the early-2030s, up from 46 to 47 million in 2024.

Our competition is not Vancouver, Montreal. Our competition is New York (and) Chicago. The U.S. government put $40 billion into infrastructure during COVID. Their terminals are fantastic.

This is what JFK and ORD are doing in the next 10 years:

(note the Studio Gang terminal for ORD was pushed back to phase 2, SOM will be doing the infield terminals in Phase 1)

Just a note about Pearson in that it has the second largest number of international flights in NA after Newark thus Chicago, though larger, has different demands.

If Pearson's passenger capacity only reaches the 46 to 47million mark this year being back to normal. Is not even close the last stats before covid having close to 50 1/2 million in 2019 on Wikipedia. And they anticipating 65 million by the early 2030s that'll be something to see lol!

Essentially (although things have yet been finalized) the GTAA keeps reducing the scope of the expansion with each successive study they do. Pretty sad, especially when you take into account the original master concept:

Yes it is sad they are cheaping out and I suspect it won't even be substantially cheaper considering the engineering design of the full build out would have continued to use common structural elements and systems throughout. The existing design is de-risked from a deliverability and design validation perspective. A new design will need to rethink every element.

The American renovations look amazing, but Pearson will need sizable federal grants to be able to compete like the U.S. airports receive.
