Getting to BMO Field
on Match Day
BMO Field sits at Exhibition Place on Toronto's western waterfront. Here's every option — ranked by what actually works when 30,000 people are all leaving at once.
TTC Streetcar — Best Option
RecommendedRoute 509 · Harbourfront
Runs from Union Station along Queens Quay West, stopping at Exhibition Loop— a 3-minute walk to BMO Field. Journey time: 10–14 minutes from Union Station. Streetcars run frequently and are added before major events.
Fare: $3.30 cash · $3.20 Presto card
Route 511 · Bathurst
Runs south from Bathurst Station (Line 2) to Exhibition Place. Useful if you're coming from the west end of the subway line. Journey time from Bathurst Station: ~8 minutes.
Fare: $3.30 cash · $3.20 Presto card
Route 509 — Union Station to BMO Field
Get a Presto card at the airport or Union Station on arrival. It works on all TTC buses, streetcars, and GO trains — you'll use it every day. Reloadable with cash or card at any TTC station.
Uber & Lyft — Read This First
Expect 3–8× surge pricing on match nights
On FIFA match evenings, Uber and Lyft surge pricing around BMO Field and downtown Toronto typically hits 3× to 8× base rates — a ride that costs $12 normally can reach $60–90+. This isn't a worst-case estimate; it's what regularly happens at major stadium events in Toronto.
- → Getting there: Surge begins 60–90 mins before kickoff near the stadium
- → Getting home: Peak surge hits at final whistle; waits of 45+ mins are common
- → Workaround: Walk 15–20 min to King West or Liberty Village before calling a car
If you must use rideshare, lock in a departure time at least 45 minutes after the final whistle and schedule the pickup on a side street away from the stadium perimeter.
Walking — Better Than You Think
BMO Field is at 170 Princes' Blvd, Exhibition Place on the western waterfront. The stadium is very walkable from nearby neighbourhoods, and the lakefront trail makes the walk genuinely pleasant in June and July.
Liberty Village (Strachan Ave)
Head south on Strachan Ave to Manitoba Dr — most direct route
King West / Entertainment District
Walk west along King St, then south through Liberty Village
Ossington / Parkdale
South on Ossington, west along Lake Shore Blvd
Union Station / Downtown Core
Lakefront trail along Queens Quay — scenic but long; take the 509 instead
Match night tip: After the final whistle, skip the streetcar queue entirely — the crowd thins out within 20 minutes and the walk back through Liberty Village is part of the atmosphere. Most of the bar action is on that route anyway.
Pre-Booked Private Transport
If you're travelling in a group or want guaranteed, stress-free door-to-door transport, pre-booking a private car service or match-day shuttle is the only way to avoid the surge pricing lottery. Book at least 2 weeks before match day — capacity fills fast.
Uber Black / Premium
Schedule 24h ahead in the Uber app — locked price, no surge
Hotel Shuttles
Many downtown hotels run FIFA match-day shuttles; ask at check-in
Charter Coaches
For groups of 20+, private charter buses from your hotel or fan zone
