HELP PLEASE
 
Hi, This is my first time to write on Fodor's.Maybe some one can help.we are traveling a long flight to Toronto for 5 nights in all. 1st night in hotel in downtown, then 3 nights in Niagara falls then back to hotel in Toronto for 4 more days,the help i need is Transport from downtown Toronto to Niagara falls. I've looked up the Grayhound Bus But itseems to only run every few hrs meaning very early in the morning then next one at 4 in the afternoon, anyone got an idea how much a Taxi would cost?or is there any other way there? thanks in advance.Tina.

Via Rail goes to the Falls at 8:30 am: viarail.ca

I suspect you're looking at the schedule for the GO train to the Falls - it runs only in the summer on weekends. The Greyhound bus for the Falls leaves more frequently than twice a day: http://greyhound.ca/home/

Here's today's :

Megabus Canada offers several trips daily from Toronto to the Bus terminal at Niagara Falls... this is new and they are running trips from $1 up each way... I random checked and the rate was $14 each way... just google megabus Canada for schedules and tickets.... good luck!

Thank you so much for your replys.First when on Holidays we do not drive we drive all the time here in Dublin IRL,So car rental is out,if we need a car we hire a driver so we can sit back and see the sites,we arrive in Toronto mid September so hopefully the schedule stays the same.Thak you Morningglory47 for looking this up for me & posting.

Hiring car and driver:
My son's best friend's father is a limo driver. Retired executive, nice Lincoln, knows what sights to see, ...

Approach could be long way down, past interesting other places ont eh way... drop you in Niagra Falls andleave you there. There's an excellent tourist-based transit system. Then several days later pick you up and take a different long way home, looking at more sights, etc.

That said, a rental car really is a good idea

Once you are in Niagara Falls, there is a "people Mover" system of busses and trolleys that run all day, you can buy passes at the terminal...
