Calgary International Airport to Calgary

Calgary Transit Route 300 BRT Airport / City Centre

Limited-stop BRT bus from YYC Domestic and International terminal stops to downtown along Centre Street, serving stops near City Hall and 4 Ave SW/2 St SW within easy walking distance of major hotels and offices. Operates from early morning until around 00:00–01:20 depending on day; tickets valid for transfers on CTrain and buses within 90 minutes.

Calgary Transit Route 100 Airport / McKnight-Westwinds LRT

Local bus from YYC to McKnight–Westwinds CTrain (Blue Line) and North Pointe terminal, where travellers can transfer to the CTrain for downtown. Useful when Route 300 headways are long or for connections in northeast Calgary rather than a direct downtown bus.

YYC Licensed Airport Taxi

Metered taxis wait outside arrivals at both Domestic and International terminals and run 24/7 to downtown, typically taking 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. Fares to central downtown are usually around CAD 40–50 and include direct curbside drop-off at hotels and offices.

Uber / Lyft at YYC

App-based rideshares operate from YYC with designated pickup zones on the terminal roadway, commonly on the departures level near Door 1. They provide 24/7 direct service to downtown in about 20–30 minutes, often at similar or slightly lower cost than taxis depending on surge pricing.

Red Arrow Calgary Airport–Downtown Coach

Intercity-style coach that runs limited daily trips from YYC to a downtown Calgary stop around 5 Ave SW, mainly for pre-booked passengers. Offers a comfortable, reserved-seat alternative to taxis and transit but with far less frequent service than Route 300.
