Student fare for greyhound is 40% off the regular price.

There has to be a tour operator somewhere in Toronto offering buses. From K/W we can get free or $5-$10 bus rides to Rama, Niagara, Windsor and Point Edward.

There are two buses that I know of. One departs from the Days Hotel at Carleton/Yonge and is $25 but supposedly you get 20 back... I've never taken it. The travel agent inside sells tickets. I think it comes back at odd hours.

The other leaves from Spadina just north of queen. I don't know the rates but I see lineups there several times a day.

The worst thing about bus trips is if you get stuck at 4am and don't feel like springing for a hotel or heaven forbid you're broke-- you have to wait until the AM for the next trip... I know at Rama they comp you a limo etc if you play enough but I have no idea about the falls.

Comp you a limo playing poker?

I know of some players that have cashed in their player's card points for limos-- the guy played blackjack as well as poker so who knows.

Where is this service available? I would be interested in trips to Niagara.

I took a bus from Spadina and Dundas. Cost $25 (non Niagara/Fallsview Member) and $7 if you are a member. Not sure what it was called (not Taipan, or Safeway though)...

When you say member do you mean that you are in the "Players Club"?

Thanks

yes thats the one i'm looking for.. i remember having a flyer for that cheap bus to fallsview, but i misplaced that flyer. now i cant seem to find that flyer anymore.. it was a neon green flyer, they had it with all the other tourist pamplets/flyers. anyone else know details about this bus?

Thanks Moose!! anything helps with the crazy gas prices and the damn session fees on th NL tables at Niagara.

Maybe I can walk across the border and get some free drinks and play some session fee free poker at Seneca.

It would probably only take you about 10-15 minutes from Casino Niagara.
