BUF to Niagara
hey guys not sure if this is the right section, but I need some help. I am traveling to Niagara falls later this month and I am flying into BUF at 6:25pm on delta and greyhound leaves at 6:50 pm. Will I have enough time to get to the bus?
greyhound is $15 and only takes 45 mins. The only other options I found was mega bus that costs $3 leaves at 8:40pm and takes about 1 hr 20 mins. taxis/shuttle for about $85 takes about 30 mins.
any help would be great thanks guys!

thanks guys for the quick reply
@moremilesplease - yes we will be doing carry-on
@emrdoc - i was just checking if there was any other options. still not sure if i want to spend the extra money to get dropped off at our hotel or waste the night and save money. we are only staying there for 2 nights and then move on to toronto.
any tips on exchanging currency? the only cc i have with no foreign transaction fees is the discover it card but not sure who takes that in canada.

If you are there to see the falls make sure to see them from both the US and Canada side. I was there for the first time a week ago and the US side was a little underwhelming.

I second the suggestion of seeing the Falls from the Canadian side. The American side is OK but the best views are from Canada.
The casino's in Canada will give a good exchange rate for American to Canadian money.
Are you staying on the Canadian side or American for the first couple of nights?

Make sure to check both Canadian and USA versions of megabus.com - they may have different schedules.
Also, the bus will actually drop you off at the NF bus station, from where you still need to take a taxi/city bus to the tourist area.
As for changing money, its best to ATM C$ out - all the exchange places have pretty bad rates apart from the casino.

thanks guys I am staying at the radisson hotel and suites fallsview, so the canada side of the falls. I don't have any real intention on visiting the US side, but if i get bored maybe ill go check it out. I am looking to change USD to CAD and was thinking maybe the casinos would be the best bet, thanks for the confirmation. As for megabus if i missed greyhound, it would drop me off at niagara fallsview casino and it should be a short walk to my hotel.
so my plan is to change maybe 100 USD to CAD at the airport then change the rest at the casino when I get off the bus.
