[Merged] Free Bus Trips to Niagara Falls - must be 19+

[batphantom]

Do you still get coupons and whatnot with the trip? Or is it just a cheap ticket now? Too bad the casino won't mail you a card.

is there a way to pay only $5 for the bus even tho w/o the PAC? coz $25 is a bit more...... i think

Not possible. Sign up for PAC must be done in person at the casino so that they can verify your government issued ID and then give you the card.

Used to be they'd charge more without a PAC but then you could get it back once you showed them your new PAC. Call Safeway though to confirm that's still the case. $5 is only if you have a PAC.

Chinese bus lines always has a bus line going to casinos at a fair price. The rides are usually for geriatrics who have nothing else to do than gamble.

I just got my PAC card. The bus people swipe it right? Will they care if I don't gamble (I just want the free ride to NF)?

They do not care you can even sleep in the casino hotel or stroll in the falls and come back when it pick up time.

Backpacks are not allowed.

Reviving an old thread...

Any experiences with how strict they actually are on not bringing backpacks? I want to bring an overnight bag with me (about the size of a carry on, but not an actual piece of luggage). Has anyone actually been turned away for bringing a bag on board?

Also, I won't be taking the bus back since I'll have a ride back to Toronto. Is it true that they will track whether you return with them, and then blacklist you if you don't?

Thanks!

You might want to call and verify about the backpacks. I remember seeing a woman stow her luggage at the luggage compartment (bus exterior) on a bus to Casino Rama.

No, they won't blacklist you. We do that all the time.

bags are no prob, bring one all the time. think theres a 72 hr limit so u can def bring overnight bag.

and going home they don't check tickets. just collect them. doesn't have your name or anything on them.

Thought I'd update and say that I had no problems bringing my overnight bag on board along with my purse and extra shopping bag. As for the blacklisting, I don't think there will be any problems with it...I ended up gambling afterall, so they got what they wanted out of me anyways. Guess I'll find out next time I try to take the bus

Thanks for your responses!
