Take the CTrain light rail (Red Line 201) to Victoria Park/Stampede station or Erlton/Stampede, both of which drop you at the gates. From the airport, city bus route 300 (BRT) connects to downtown in about 45 minutes, where you transfer to the CTrain. During Stampede, trains run frequently and are free within the downtown fare-free zone.
