Toronto airport officials finally announced that now you can use Uber or Lyft to get home. You were always able to use Lyft or Uber to be dropped off at any location, including the airport, but now you have an option of getting picked up at the airport as well.
Basically now, when you arrive from that long Bali location, all you would need to do is use your cell phone and get Uber to pick you up from either Terminal 1 or Terminal 3.
Finally, finally, finally, you can hail #Uber and #Lyft from Toronto Pearson Airport terminals. No more sneaking onto Park N’Fly and hotel shuttle buses. #yyz

The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) said in their press release that this will be a pilot project and provide another transportation option for 47 million annual passengers.
“Following significant demand from our passengers, we believe that a pilot of full-ride sharing options is timely at Toronto Pearson, and in line with other airports across Canada and the U.S. already offering this service,” said Scott Collier, Vice President, Customer and Terminal Services, GTAA. “We appreciate the collaboration of the ground transportation industry in sharing their feedback and welcome another opportunity to offer our passengers choice in their transportation options.”
