The Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport Shuttle is a free shuttle bus service for airline passengers and staff between the island airport ferry and the Royal York Hotel.[1] The service is run by Pacific Western Transportation on behalf of Porter Airlines and Air Canada.

The shuttle initially served Porter Airlines passengers and staff. But after Air Canada started flying out of the island airport in 2011, the shuttle was renamed and can be used by all passengers. When porter had an office at the Sky Walk beside Union Station, the shuttle used to operate from the base at York Street.

Fleet

The Blue Bird buses are used exclusively on the service. If one is not available, the SLF or another small Pacific Western bus is used.
