Get To The Falls By Bus In Boston

Greyhound runs two daily trips to Niagara Fall from Boston.


Like other cities, Boston once had several bus and motor coach companies with routes that stretched throughout the country. But Boston's bus service declined as the public began relying more their own cars for interstate trips. Today, Boston still has several carriers that run buses several times a day to New York City. However, only Greyhound offers a bus ride from Boston to Niagara Falls.


Instructions


1. Log on to the Greyhound's website and fill out the ticket information form for a trip that leaves from Boston and arrives in Niagara Falls. The form also requires a departure and return date and time. Click the "Search Schedule" button.


2. Choose between the two daily trips that depart at 7:15 a.m. and 5 p.m. The morning trip runs 14 hours and 25 minutes and requires two transfers. The evening trip is 14 hours and 15 minutes, and has one transfer to another bus.


3. Click continue to purchase your tickets online with a credit card. This is not mandatory but it will shave $19 off the price of a ticket purchased at the terminal. Riders can print out a confirmation slip and pick up their tickets at the terminal before boarding the bus or they can have the tickets delivered through the mail.


4. Go to Greyhound's 24-hour terminal located at South Station. Greyhound recommends that passengers purchasing or picking up tickets at the terminal arrive one hour before departure. Boarding usually begins 30 minutes before the bus is scheduled to leave Boston.
