What you get

Everything you need to ride Ontario, on day one.

Built specifically for the moment you walk out of arrivals into a city you've never visited.

Real live map

OpenStreetMap with live vehicle dots from TTC, Grand River, HSR and GO/UP — refreshed every 30 seconds.

Multi-agency GTFS-RT

We pull directly from public transit feeds. No middlemen on the agencies that publish openly.

PRESTO, explained

Where to tap, when to tap twice, and how transfers work — without the jargon.

Glossary built-in

Tap any underlined word — Subway, GO, transfer — for a plain-language explanation.

Built for newcomers

Calm, friendly UI. Designed for people who just landed and have never ridden Ontario transit.

Airport-first

Optimised for the moment you walk out of arrivals at YYZ, YOW, YHM and beyond.

How it works

Three steps, from gate to destination.

1

Land in Ontario

Open arriveON the moment you exit the terminal. We pin you to the nearest transit hub automatically.

2

Tell us where you're going

Enter a hotel, address or neighbourhood. We compare every realistic transit route — fastest, cheapest, fewest transfers.

3

Ride with confidence

Step-by-step directions, real platforms, real signage clues, and a live map so you always know where you are.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is arriveON free?+

Yes. arriveON is free to use. We rely on public open-data feeds from Ontario transit agencies.

Do I need a PRESTO card to use the app?+

No — the app works without one. But for actual rides, PRESTO is the easiest way to pay across TTC, GO, UP Express and most Ontario systems. We explain how to get one.

Which airports are supported?+

Toronto Pearson (YYZ), Ottawa (YOW), Hamilton (YHM), Windsor (YQG) and North Bay (YYB). More are being added.

Does it work offline?+

Static schedules and the glossary work offline. Live vehicle positions need a data connection — most airports have free Wi-Fi in arrivals.

Is my location data stored?+

No. Your location is used only on your device to centre the map. We never send it to a server.
