Hotels and Trip Details

I don't know why you rely on uber. There are lots of decent taxi companies in Mississauga at decent prices. I generally use Blue and white taxi (905-274-4444) as they have a phone number I know by heart, ever since I landed in Canada. All hotels have taxi cars near them. I live just across Novotel Hotel and there are always 2-5 or more cars every time. Trips within Mississauga can vary between $10-30-40, depending on distance. When I use taxis I pay $10-20, for 10-15 km. Uber is not legal in Mississauga, and I would never use a taxi that is not regulated (I am afraid, LOL). For going to the airport there is a special taxi Aerofleet (they are authorized), but you may come to the airport with any taxi, even by buss. But when you arrive to Toronto/Mississauga (Pearson Airport) you need to take a registered/authorized taxi (there are signs for that). Some guys may come to you and offer their services, but you should not accept it, or at least ask for the price before accepting. Taxis have a flat rate according to distance.
Please feel free to ask me any questions!

For busses within Mississauga, you either buy bus tickets, or use cash, but they only accept change (metal coins). I think a trip is $3.25 (or $3.50) and when you pay, the driver gives you a 2 hour pass that can be used if you use a second bus, or any other buss trip within that time period.

Cash fare is $3.50 and yes, you need to use change, not bills. Ask for a transfer and that's the slip that gives you 2 hours to transfer to another bus or use to go elsewhere without having to pay the fare again. You can also go to most Shoppers Drug Mart stores and buy bus tickets, which will be good if you're riding the bus multiple times and want to not have to carry change all the time.

Thanks for your help, MsSweetie! Blue & White appears to be a solid option.

I also just wanted to ask if you happened to know the approximate price of taking a taxi from Pearson Airport to the Hershey Center?
