I work at HGH. Well, behind HGH, at the research building.

In the interest of accuracy, there are two CanadaWide private lots close to HGH - one at Victoria and Barton that takes $5.50/day, and one at Victoria just past the CN tracks that takes $4.50 a day ($65/mo). The latter is never full, but is gradually creeping upward in utilization... I expect to see it full when the new building opens. The former, being closer, is often near or at capacity - it's also a complete eyesore of dirt.

On the plus side, HGH does provide free employee bike-parking in their parking structure, which works well with its proximity to the Cannon bike tracks and and a bike-share rack - the lack of safe lanes on Victoria and Wellington stinks though, and the lack of a convenient way to get to Ferguson (Barton is not good for cycling, I don't care what the city's maps say). HHS also runs a shuttle between its various hospitals, but I've never tried that.

Many of my co-workers do take the bus. The #2 isn't anybody's favorite experience, but service is frequent (as is the frustration of standing on the wrong side of King Street when your connecting bus pulls away).
