As for cost of a cab, I'd say its about 25 bucks give or take 5 bucks depending on traffic. Ask for a van if there are more than 4 people. If you split it among multiple people, it could be cheaper and MUCH faster.
Hope to see you there!

Really? My research shows that it only takes 2 buses (one transfer) and an hour and ten minutes (if you miss the 2nd bus add 20 minutes for a total of 1:30).
I'm so used to taking public transit when I go to conventions. I'm a lot less worried about it.
Unfortunately that stupid miway.ca website wouldn't find the streets, so I had to manually find the bus stops on the map. Here's the stop #'s you'll want:
From:
0411 - NORTH SERVICE RD at STANFIELD RD
To:
2302
all my search results started with bus #4 West running every half an hour (at roughly quarter after and quarter till)
The trip planner suggests to catch the 2nd bus to get off sooner and walk a block to another stop, I guess because otherwise there's a shorter wait time (and greater potential to miss the bus if one is running late and/or the other early) if you go all the way to that Trillium Health Center stop where both buses go.
At 5:13 PM, take Bus route 4 direction West. At 5:30 PM, arrive at stop #0758 on CONFEDERATION PKY FIRST STOP south of PAISLEY BLVD (17 min.).

Walk to stop #2332 on PAISLEY BLVD at CONFEDERATION PKY for transfer.
Zoom
Wait 8 minute(s).

At 5:40 PM, take Bus route 38 direction North. At 6:23 PM, arrive at stop #2302 on ARGENTIA RD west of MISSISSAUGA RD (43 min.).
Return trip for me looks to be 3 buses and 1:30 travel time, but that's for like a 7:50pm arrival for a 8:15 GreyHound departure.
