| Oct 16, 2022 at 17:09 | comment | added | Paul Paulsen | Thanks for all the contributions and tips! I stood for some time at the tunnel entry, trying to hitch a ride, but finally gave in to the Uber drivers stopping and trying to convince me to pay them. Found one going to the other side anyway, so I was able to pay "only" 40 USD. | |

Some capitalization makes it more obvious that this is a service

| Oct 14, 2022 at 13:41 | comment | added | phoog | @gerrit Greyhound ended its intercity service in Canada about a year and a half ago. A few US routes extend into Canada, but not from Michigan to Ontario. Coach Canada seems to have a much more limited network that is more oriented towards regional transportation (commuters). The articles I found online mostly discuss the problems caused by the sudden lack of an intercity bus network and possible solutions. | |

| Oct 14, 2022 at 11:46 | comment | added | Michael Seifert | @gerrit: Currently Greyhound doesn't return any results when you search Detroit—Niagara Falls (ON) or Detroit—Toronto. It won't even let you search for Windsor or Niagara Falls, NY. There might be some other bus line that would serve these routes, though. | |
| Oct 14, 2022 at 7:57 | comment | added | gerrit | Could you take an intercity bus? I've used Greyhound between Toronto and Chicago several times. It stopped in both Windsor and Detroit. | |
| Oct 14, 2022 at 1:14 | comment | added | mlc | It sounds like this is too late for your trip, but for future planners: it seems the tunnel bus will resume on November 27, 2022. | |

| Oct 13, 2022 at 19:11 | comment | added | Michael Seifert | Getting to Niagara Falls, NY without going through Canada seems to be surprisingly hard. The airport has minimal commercial service and, oddly, I haven't been able to find any coach service that stops there. If you wanted to go this route your best bet might be to fly from Detroit to Buffalo and then take Amtrak from Buffalo to Niagara Falls (three trains daily.) | |
| Oct 13, 2022 at 18:31 | comment | added | Paul Paulsen | Yes! Sorry, I was unclear in my comment. All the connections I can find start from Windsor in Canada, assuming that I can get there by tunnel bus - which is currently suspended. | |

| Oct 13, 2022 at 16:59 | comment | added | Paul Paulsen | Ah, that could work! Do you have any tip on how to do that? All the connections I can find go through Canada. | |
