The Greater Toronto Airports Authority LINK is a service provided by the authority to shuttle patrons around Toronto Pearson International Airport. The service was initially run by buses until the LINK train went into operation.

Fleet operated by Coach Canada

In either 2008 or 2009, Coach Canada received the contract to operate the shuttle buses at the airport. This operation is considerably smaller as the LINK Train takes care of the majority of patrons and employees. It wasn't until the LINK Train closed from March to July 2009, that extra buses were needed. Therefore buses had to be leased from Eastway Refurbishing.
