Hi!

Just wanted to know what I can do if I want to land on the weekend and I have no car but am not patient enough to make an appointment at CIC scarborough. Can I take a bus to Niagara falls or something? Does anyone have experience or can advise on this?

Thanks!

Looks like you can take a bus to Niagara and do the flag poling....

Search the forum for the word "flagpole" or "flagpoling". This will help explain the procedure.
Niagara is certainly an option if you have your COPR in your possession.

yeah, got a day pass, which was like $17 each way.
I think they are open 24/7.
When u get off the bus, get off at 420 and stanley (2nd last stop). otherwise the main station is bit further away from rainbow bridge.
