Don Mills Subway Station is my default station whenever I go downtown for my Yelp adventure…read more I know it is a hassle to change train to Yonge Subway line at Yonge and Sheppard. But free parking from 9:30 AM is a no brainer for me if I need to go downtown for lunch... Finch Station though more convenient but free parking is not until after 3 pm! Of course, Don Mills has covered parking, this is good for both summer and winter as my car would never be boiling hot or covered in a blanket of snow. Being right next to Fairview Mall also really convenient if you want to do some shopping or just get a coffee or a quick bite!

Look, it had been a long time since I had been in the area. Memories of my teen years echoed as I…read moreawaited the Lawerence 54 bus after being dropped off by the 200 Zoo bus. Unfortunately, my phone had no data due to my travels, therefore I wasn't able to download any transit apps and the stops no longer have a schedule available beyond the app. That was a bit of a bummer as I waited and waited. I caught an express bus and asled the driver if he happened to go by where I was heading. It was in that moment he mentioned I had to cross to the corner for my bus. Despite the stop I was waiting at indicating it was the Lawrence bus. As I proceeded toward "the corner" the first 54 I had seen passes by. At that point, I am frustrated because it had been about an hour, on a route that once had buses every 10-15 minutes. My immediate thought? I should have walked. Maybe it's the poor public transit in Phoenix that got me fired up? Eventually my bus came, along with 2 others. I get it, I guess. All in all, I was grateful for the transportation. Wait at the corner not within the station if heading East. Oh but if one is looking to grab a GO train, this is definitely a spot.

One of the Scarborough stops on the Lakeshore East GO line. Rouge Hill has two big parking lots,…read moreseparated by Lawrence Avenue E. There are a lot of reserved parking spots so make sure you aren't parking in one of those accidentally. They are marked by signs with a reserved spot number that indicate they are reserved. If you're just dropping someone off, there are a lot of Kiss 'n' Ride lanes that lead right to the station office. The station office is kind of lacking in A/C at times so it can get a little hot if you are waiting indoors during the summer. There are PRESTO machines inside the office and all along the entrance of the track. There are two tracks, one that is only accessible through an underground tunnel. There are two main entrances to the tunnel, one by the office and the other that is further down on the west side of the track. The platforms are wheelchair accessible and there is an elevator in the tunnel as well. The trains are pretty frequent on this line, coming at least twice per hour and more during the peak times at 3pm and 4pm. Some bonuses to note are that this station has a fantastic view from the track and looks out onto Lake Ontario. If you're ever really tempted to walk along the lake side trail, there are entrances from the east bound platform. This station is slated for a revitalization project and is expected to take place in 2019.

If you're mall hopping the GO bus is definitely a better way to travel between the two malls. It costs more than taking a TTC bus (GO bus fare is $5.30 and TTC is $3.25) but the bus is considerably more comfortable with large cushioned seats that face the front like in a fancy tour bus. It is also much quieter (especially during the weekdays) since the crowd is older without kids (the bus isn't made to accommodate large, bulky strollers or walkers). There is only one stop in between (York Mills) and you don't have to transfer to another bus. So if you're willing to pay a little more for a peaceful, comfortable, quick ride then you'll definitely want to take the GO bus. At the Scarborough Towne Centre the station is right across from the TTC station in front of the mall entrance. There's self service kiosks where you can purchase your tickets but be warned that that the machines are a little slow so get there a little early. The machines take credit debit and cash (bills $20 and lower). At Yorkdale Shopping Centre the station entrance is next to Tim Hortons: there are kiosks as well as ticket booths with real people. 1-888-GET-ON-GO

Tip: This company offers day tours to Fallsview Casino and longer tours that require flying…read more My mom was reminiscing about going down to Fallsview Casino years ago with a couple of her friends. All three of them don't drive, so they took a shuttle down from Pacific Mall, which is one of many pickup locations that you can choose from in the greater Toronto area. She said that the bus was punctual. They did the first bus leaving Pacific Mall. It was the summertime and the bus was air-conditioned. My mom doesn't have a cell phone, so I never bothered asking if it had wifi. She said that it was comfortable getting down there. Her tour package included the bus ride to and from the casino. There was also a deal where if you paid cash to load up a card to play the slots, you got the same amount to play for free. It's funny. I don't think my mom did a ton of gambling. Although I worked in the gaming industry documenting ticket redemption kiosks for three years, I also have no interest gambling. Like mother, like daughter. She did hit the buffet and liked the carvery area the best. She enjoyed having a decent meal and chatting with her friends. One word: Same! They were told to meet at a specific area outside of the casino at their departure time. The driver made sure everyone was accounted for before he drove everyone back to Markham. Although Safeway Tours is known for its shuttle service to and from Fallsview Casino, it also does longer tours. You can do a three-day tour that gets you to Ottawa and Montreal. There's also a seven-day tour to Las Vegas, San Diego, and Los Angeles. That tour includes air fare. Maybe when I'm retired and don't feel like curating my own tour itinerary, I'd consider giving Safeway Tours a try. My mom had a good experience, so I trust that I will, too. (497)

I would suggest going there before 8am so you deal less with waiting. The line definitely started to get crowded after 8am. The security gives you a number with ticket and let's the first 5 go up in the elevator to the second floor to wait about 5-10 minutes ahead of 8:30am. Then after I think they use the computerized system for your number to be called upstairs. If you don't want to be standing downstairs as long, definitely bring a folding chair. I was in and out in 20 minutes when the office opened at 8:30am. Just beware they only accept debit/credit card/tap to pay and not cash. Only cash they accept is if you have a money order.

When I visited, there was a line forming in the lobby with a security guard there to answer questions, provide forms, and file people into the room with another line. The lines moved fairly quickly. The employee behind the counter checked over my form and looked at my current passport and passport photos, printed a ticket, and instructed that I wait on the second floor for my ticket number to be called. The wait upstairs did not take long. The next employee I saw checked over everything; I paid, and she informed me that my new passport would be mailed out in ten business days. The whole process took less than 45 minutes.

One thing that I wish this station had was more train and bus routes since Gormley GO is in a pretty empty area and it would be nice to have extra routes connecting this station to the rest of the city.
