My wife and I are flying into Toronto next week on a house / school finding trip as ive seccured a job in Mississauga.
Were staying at the Waterside Inn , Mississauga . We would like to visit Toronto and also visit friends in Oakville. Ive been offered a hire car, but i not really planning on driving etc. Can I get around by using the trains and how far away are they.

1. How far is the train from the hotel ?,
2. Can I easily visit the city and Oakville by train from the hotel area ?.

Thanks
Jason.

Put the hotel's address in the trip planner.

How can you do a house finding trip without a car.?

I would recommend renting a car, it could be -10 next week, no fun standing at a bus stop in -20 wind chill.

Sorry should have explained

When were in oakville, my wife is viewing homes with friends.We also know the area quite well.
Your right about the weather. Thanks for your help.

Ok you could do it then if someone else is driving. But again getting to and from a GO station, on a bus, in Mississauga won't be a bunch of laughs.

Had a look at the map and the hotel is 10-15 mins walking distance to Port CRedit GO station. As long as you get picked up at the Oakville end by the house hunters, and you have a plan to get from the airport and back you be golden.

Planned down to a T. Exactly as you described.What about getting back from Toronto Fri night after a night out. Train or cab back to hotel

I used to live in that hotel. I commuted to Toronto by walking to the GO station. The trains run until 00:43, late enough for work nights. If I missed the last one I'd negotiate a flat rate with a cab driver.

Get the realtor to drive you around.

That would work.

Make them work for their exorbitant commissions.
