The locations where this conference will take place are relatively closed to each other with convenient access to the public transit system. Toronto is also part of the BIXI bike sharing system. BIXI offers several DIY pick up and drop stations concentrated in the downtown. If you feel like moving between venues by bike, here is information on how to do it.

Public Transportation in Toronto
The Toronto public transit system is known as the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) and includes buses, streetcars and subway trains. A one-way ride on the TTC costs $3.00 (CDN), but ride tokens or tickets are available for a reduced price if bought in quantities of five or more (7 tokens for $18.20).
Day passes are also available for $ 10.50 .During the week end this pass is valid for 2 adults (or 2 adults and no more than 4 children), so if you travel with a friend or your family you might consider this option
please, be advised that the subway runs form 6:00 am to 1:30 am every day except on sunday, when it opens at 9:00 am
