No $2,000+ prison at YYZ. He said it was such a joke. Driver works for a limo company and does this now all day long. He is considered to be an essential worker. The word is getting out among the snowbirds and everyone is flying to BUF now. What a joke!!!
Inspired by sydneyracquelle, I called a few service providers out of Buffalo Airport. Only got one definite "yes," from
CanLimo. Rates are $279 to downtown Toronto, or $179 to Niagara Falls, Ontario side. Car is luxury sedan Lincoln/Cadillac/Lexus.
IMHO, this is on-topic of this thread because its a viable alternative to hotel prison.
FYI, JetBlue has some dangerously low fares to Buffalo (under $50 from Florida).
