    Default Directions to MOT

    In about 2 weeks, I will be heading down to Toronto to pick up my car from Jeff at MOT. Now the last piece of the puzzle is how to get to the dealership from the Bay St bus terminal.

    Looking at the subway schedules, I can take the subway from Dundas to Finch then it's about a 15 minute walk up Yonge. Can anyone confirm this to be correct?

    Also, what are my other (cheap) options?

    You can always hop on a Steeles East or Steeles West bus and take it right outside MOT.

    That is correct. If you're lazy grab a transfer and hop on any Steeles-bound bus and get off along the way... Subway/bus would be cheapest option.

    Congrats on your new ride btw!!!

    This is correct. It's about a 15 min walk to Yonge and Finch as I have done it a couple of times.

    +1 to the Steeles bus route option also.

    OK. Reading up on Finch station, eqlso is right because the station is within a "fare-paid" area. So basically I just get off the subway, go up to the terminal and get on the bus.

    Thank you guys for your help.

    Thank you for the offer Jeff. I'll keep it in mind when I'm down there. I think if I can spare you the trip, since I can connect from Finch to the Steeles bus at no extra cost, I will.

    And I'm coming down from Sudbury.

    You're technically going farther south than you have to but it's the easier route with least transfers.

    You can also get off the bus at Yorkdale and then take the subway to Downsview, then the #105 north to steeles and then the #60 to MoT. By going downtown you only have to take the subway then bus but you're going past the area where MoT is.

    Yah. And I already have my bus ticket to the Bay St terminal. Since it'll be my first time, I think I'll take the easier route.

    Agree with ElegantGremlin, the Bay St. Terminal is easier and a lot less complicated.

    Have fun with your car when you get it.
