Drive times are OSRM’s on empty roads, the same best-case figure as the map’s suburban lens; game nights run far slower. The taxi figure is the City of Toronto meter rate ($4.25 plus $1.75/km, as of 2026-10) on that distance, the only published benchmark; rideshare prices aren’t published and surge after events. GO Transit riders transfer to the TTC free under One Fare, so a GO trip to Union plus the subway or streetcar to the venue costs the GO fare alone.
