Review from Laura C.
Toronto, ON
The cheapest way to get to Niagara Falls!!
They will charge you $25 (for both ways), but if you sign up for a Players Advantage Card (PAC) (which is free, and you use it to get points when play). They will give you $20 back.
It becomes $5 per person this way. Then you can get a return ticket for the time that you want.
You have to take the bus BOTH ways, otherwise this deal doesn't apply and it's $25 one way.
It's a bit confusing when you get on the bus, most riders are seasoned and know what they are doing, so be sure you get all the information and ask questions if they don't already direct you (they do this already, but just in case)
1) it's a free for all when you get on. Elite/Premier members go on first (show their card) then others can get on.
2) the lady will come around asking for your card and ID, and payment ($5 for regular cards, free for Elite/Gold etc, $25 otherwise). Tell her that you will be wanting a Players Advantage Card when you get off
3) when arriving, stay on the bus. they will tell you that anyone wanting a PAC will need to stay.
4) After everyone gets off, they guide you to the PAC signup area and they wait for you
5) after getting the card, go back to the lady and she will give you $20 back in exchange for your new membership number
6) Ask about return time. I'm not sure if they will give you a preset time for return, or you have to sign up. Or go to the safeway counter (en route to casino) and get your return ticket back.
They have tons of pick up sites, so it's really convenient. Btw. it stops at Fallsview, but there is a shuttle to Casino Niagara, i think) [discontinued, but my best advice is walk it 15-20 mins or hitch a ride that goes up to one of the hotels near the fallsview]
Benefits to PAC (I don't understand why some people don't get this card. Even if you don't play much, you still accumulate points as well as other benefits...)
