Classic on the inside and out, Metropolitan Apartments has been thoughtfully redesigned to reflect our residents’ lifestyle needs. The designer lobby with fashionable finishes and furniture is a great first impression for you and your guests. Keep up appearances and get around Toronto in style even when you’re not the one doing the driving. Here are some suggestions for convenient and affordable transportation options around Toronto.
Uber Toronto
With the Uber Toronto app, you can forget about flagging a taxi down yourself. Instead, Uber connects you with the closest nearby taxi driver. For an extra sophisticated ride, there’s also the option for a classic black car. Users get to select between a high-end sedan and an SUV that seats up to four people. For larger groups, there is an SUV option for half a dozen people. Uber automatically adds 20% gratuity for the driver and payments are completed with a credit card associated with your account. Base fares begin at $8.00 with $2.50 per km and the minimum fare is $15. Flat rates are available by request to Pearson International Airport. Follow @UberTO on Twitter to find promotions and incentives for customers.

Hailo Toronto
Similar to Uber, Hailo lets you use your smartphone to hail a taxi to wherever you are at any time of the day. Download the app and you’re set. For your comfort, all of Hailo’s taxis are licensed Toronto taxi drivers and each driver is approved individually. With Hailo, there’s a credit card associated with your account that allows you to pay directly without even getting out your wallet.
For more information visit: hailocab.com/Toronto or download the app for your iPhone or Android.
Two Wheels
Ditch the cabs and hit the streets on two wheels. Sporting Life is an excellent resource for a new bike and the retailer offers a personal bike fitting service. This ensures you have a comfortable ride whether you’re looking for a road, mountain or fitness bike. Getting around on two wheels in Toronto during the spring and summer makes the city feel relatively small and connected. If you aren’t confident to tackle the Toronto streets yet, learn more about designated bike lanes and cycle-only trails. Download a Toronto Cycling Map; printed maps are free and available at Civic Centres, libraries, community centres and Toronto bicycle specialty shops.
For a bike fitting visit: sportinglife.ca or stop by the store at 2265 Yonge Street, Toronto
The TTC
If you don’t want to spring for a cab, the TTC is an easy and nearby option to access most points of the city. From Metropolitan Apartments at Yonge and Lawrence, it’s a quick walk to the TTC at Lawrence Station.
Metropolitan Apartments is located in the established neighbourhood of Yonge and Lawrence. Steps away from a wide selection of shopping, amenities and recreation, you will enjoy uptown living. Metropolitan Apartments are within walking distance of the TTC, and only a short drive to Sunnybrook Hospital, York University’s Glendon Campus and the Yonge-Eglinton Centre.
