Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF
(11-22-2018, 03:00 PM)SammyOES Wrote: Ah, I see.  I'm skeptical of that idea because it would involve something like 3 transfers at best (ykf->local train station->Pearson area train station?->Pearson airport).  Without really steady traffic those transfer/waits could be quite long and it would require passengers to leave really long windows between flights.

It usually takes me over an hour to get from Newark Airport to New York Penn Station w/o a car even at peak times and where they've got relatively good train routes set up.  If I land at an off-peak time it can be well over 90 minutes because regional rail just doesn't run that often.

I count that as two connections: 
  1. (YKF inbound flight) to (KPX*)
  2. (KPX) to (YYZ outbound flight)
as opposed to the just single connection.

And, yes, the train would need to be fairly speedy, frequent and reliable. (EWR to NYC Penn Station is only 12.6 miles -- but 28 minutes.)
