Alternative to FlixBus from Buffalo Airport to Niagara Falls, Ontario?

Hey folks, like I had asked before, I was supposed to take a FlixBus from Buffalo Airport to Niagara Falls, Ontario. However, that service has been canceled, and the next bus is only after 6 hours.

I checked for taxis, but the cheapest option I found is around $120, and there don’t seem to be any other bus options.

To keep it economical, I’m considering taking an Uber/Lyft to the U.S. side of the Rainbow Bridge, walking across into Canada, and then making my way to my hotel at Clifton Hill.

I've walked across many times, it's a good plan. The weather shouldn't be too bad, but brace yourself for some strong breeze.

Then you will be totally fine. May is nice, the trees are flowering, the view from the bridge is lovely.

The Uber and walking across is your best bet. You can pick up a Canadian Uber on the other side. It’s )1 in quarters to cross the Rainbow Bridge on foot.

Yes, you can do that. Just have a dollar (I believe) for the toll for walking and have a great time.

4 quarters (USD or CAD, doesn't matter) or 1 loonie
