My wife and I just had the opportunity to use the UP Express this weekend and didn't.
We live at Gerrard and River.
On the way to Pearson we took Uber to Castlefrank. And the TTC the rest of the way. Total cost $9.50 for cab + $6 for two cash fares for TTC = $15.50 total for us.
On the way back from Pearson we were lazy and took an airport limo. $60 flat fate + $5 tip = $65 total for us.
If we had taken the UP Express it would have been $27 each + $20 for cab from Union station for a grand total of $74.
It just doesn't make any sense for the overwhelming majority of Torontonians. I won't even consider it until the price falls below $20.
What would Uber have cost you from Union station home? Why would you Uber to Castle frank but not home???
***EDIT***
Nevermind Uber's fare estimator says that the ride would have cost $8, way to obfuscate the comparison. So by simply owning a presto card and choosing uber (which you have already indicated you were open to) that $74 trip becomes $46
