Getting to Scotiabank Arena
Toronto Raptors · Toronto, ON
Scotiabank Arena is attached to Union Station, which is the single point where Toronto's transit systems meet — the TTC subway, GO Transit's regional network and the UP Express airport link all terminate there. The arena leans on that rather than listing lines, and publishes just two driving approaches, one down the Don Valley Parkway and one along the Gardiner.
Tips & Fan Reports
Scotiabank Arena is connected to Union Station and the PATH system so if you are staying downtown just walk. There are gates on each side of the arena so check which one is closer to your section.
Driving reduces to two roads: the Don Valley Parkway from the east and north, the Gardiner from the west, both onto Lake Shore Boulevard.
MLSE publishes live transit updates for event nights at access.mlse.com/transit-updates.
Union Station is the connection point for everything — TTC subway, GO Transit regional rail and the arena itself are all linked there.
The arena names no individual TTC line or streetcar route — plan that leg on the TTC's own map.
Ways In
- Driving
- The arena is at 40 Bay St. From the east and north, take the Don Valley Parkway to Lake Shore Boulevard. From the west, take the Gardiner Expressway to Lakeshore Boulevard.
- Public Transit
- Union Station links the arena to Toronto's major public transit systems — the TTC and GO Transit both serve it, and the arena points to each operator for lines and schedules rather than naming them itself. MLSE publishes live transit updates separately for event nights.
- Rideshare
- Uber/Lyft drop-off is on Bremner Boulevard near the main entrance. Post-game pickup takes 10-15 minutes due to traffic. Walk north toward Front Street for a faster pickup spot.

- Transit
TTC single adult fare: $3.30 with PRESTO or contactless, $3.35 cash, Day Pass $13.50 (Canadian dollars) -- the tap fare is stored, per the convention that a visitor can pay it with a card they already carry. GO Transit publishes no fare table and quotes every trip through its planner, with exactly one flat figure anywhere on the site: its "GO local" initiative of 13 February 2026, "All shorter length trips of 10km or less across the GO network are only $3.70 when you use your PRESTO card". The entry now names that trip rather than carrying an $8 that matches nothing GO publishes; longer trips cost more and the name says which trip is priced
