Why? They'd be looking for the Pearson train. Not some odd acronym.
At least they're not looking for the Air Rail Link (ARL) anymore. Or Blue 22.

That also confounds me. The 192 now looks like it belongs to canada post.
The new wrap for the 192 bus doesn't have an airplane on it either.
C'mon people. It's the international symbol for an airport. Compare to Montreal:

Interesting that reading the comments above I can both agree and disagree with most of you... On one hand I agree the signage may be too simple but at the same time I immediately think well its not overly difficult to quickly educate yourself on what this "UP train" is...
I had never heard of the 747 bus, but when I saw one while walking down the street in Montreal, I instantly knew what it must be from the logo and the route number. Whoever put that together knows what they are doing.
Same, when I visited Montreal, that bus really stood out. Now if only TTC or GO can operate a bus like that from downtown, or other places.
One of the points of signage is that you don't need to be educated about what it means, it's supposed to be intuitive to anyone looking at it. Even if they've never been to the city before.
Exactly. Even if you've never heard of UPX or don't know that Toronto's main airport is called Pearson, you should be able to determine from the signage that to the right is where you find the train to take you to the airport.
So basically you oppose wayfinding because anyone who needs it is an imbecile?I think they understand that the people in that category are generally imbeciles who wouldn't even understand that. Maps and signs are generally ignored because stupid people are to dumb to understand them and smart people don't need them.

Just l;ook at the massive lines at TTC stations of people asking about fares or directions when it's directly in fron of their face the whole time. They put zero effort into it. It's irrelevant.
