They do. GO Transit route 35. Humber College to Yorkdale statoin in 24 minutes.If they just ran a bus between Humber and Finch West station directly with no stops, it would be faster and cheaper than the LRT.
As for the bus between Humber College, Metrolinx recently identified Humber College as a regional hub to facilitate travel to the airport, so maybe there may be buses running from there to the airport soon.

Mentioning the 107 made me wonder if a better LRT route might be had if by extending further west to Westwood Mall, then south to Malton GO station and down Airport Road to Pearson. You'd miss Woodbine and omit the need for a new GO station, which depending on what happens or doesn't happen there in terms of a casino, mightn't be much of a loss. Alternately, head south to the Woodbine front gate/Woodbine Shopping Centre, then west along Rexdale Blvd to Malton GO, then south along Airport Road.I think it should ultimately go to the airport. There has been talk of a Woodbine station for Go/UPX which the Finch Station could connect to on its way to the airport. I don't think it will be a duplicate service because the Finch LRT would provide a different service compared to UPX and would also be cheaper.
There already is a limited stop bus between Humber and the airport. The frequency is kinda meh and they cut it back to Westwood Mall after the school year winds down, but there's the beginning of something there.

Worth bearing in mind that a new Woodbineish GO station on the rail corridor is nowhere near the Woodbine grandstand, the potentially-expanded casino, and the potential redevelopment lands that were mooted as part of Woodbine Live --- there's over a kilometre of racetrack and stables in between as the crow flies, more if you're circumnavigating.
I think it should be a TTC route like 192 Airport rocket and run down highway 427. That way Finch W LRT becomes a useful route to the airport without years of design, EAs and construction.
Why not just check Google Transit. I've never taken it to either, and it tells me very quickly.As for Westwood Mall, which route would you take to get there from Humber College because it seems to me it would make the journey too long.
I tried to check this in Google Transit - but I couldn't get it to give me the 2022 schedule.That doesn't seem to go to the airport... I was talking about a bus connection so that Finch W LRT users can get to Pearson.
They must have got bored only listing 14 previous announcements, as there's at least 2 more between 2012 and 2015 - probably more.Take a trip down memory lane on the timeline of Finch W LRT going back to 2007 here:

And where is the first place people look when they are searching for this information? For me personally, its wikipedia.
Would it be worth it for UrbanToronto to create something? A standalone transit site or section?
