Decided to tag onto this thread rather than start a new one, but situation is a little bit different.

A friend from YYZ and I are meeting 'in the middle'. He's taking a train to Windsor and I'll be driving there or to the Detroit area. We haven't decided whether we're going to meet up on the Detroit side or Windsor side. Obviously if it's Windsor I can just drive over (will bring passport). But if we decide to meet on the Detroit side, he'd have to get over.

It's been a gazillion years since I've been in downtown Detroit, much less Windsor, so I can't remember how far apart the two are via bridge or tunnel. And is there an easy way for him to get from Windsor to Detroit, such as shuttle bus, taxi, etc, and approximate cost?

Since they're now requiring passports to Canada even when driving, I'm assuming I should hand that over rather than D/L when crossing the border?

Any info appreciated.

Cheers.
