Taxi between Buffalo Greyhound and Depew Amtrak

Hi there,

I am traveling from Toronto to Chicago on June 13 and will be staying in the Windy City for a one-week vacation. I am tempted to takethe Lakeshore Limited night train. However, since I would be arriving in BUffalo at the Greyhound station, I would need to take a cab to Depew Amtrak station. Any idea how expensive it is?

Taxi between Buffalo Greyhound and Depew Amtrak

Taxis cost $2.30 for the first 1/6 mile, and then $3.00 for each additional mile. The Amtrak station is about 10 miles from the Greyhound station, so that should cost around $33.00.

If you want to save money and don%26#39;t mind the hassle and the extra time, you could catch an NFTA metro bus from Greyhound to the Buffalo Airport - it only costs $2 or $3 at the most. Then catch a taxi from the airport to the Amtrak train station. The Amtrak is less than 3 miles from the airport so a taxi would cost around $11.

Here%26#39;s the website for the NFTA:

I see. Thanks guys for the info! I think what i will do is the following. Take the Greyhound bus directly to Chicago. It takes 11 jours and costs 147 dollars canadian return tax inclusive. I love train travel but I really don%26#39;t find it user friendly for this trip. To bad the Buffalo Central terminal has not been in use for ages. Also, why don%26#39;t they stop at Exchange station? It would make soooo much sense.

Imagine if the Toronto-Montreal train only stopped in Dorval. It%26#39;s that stupid!!!

Something else i can do. Take Coach canada or Greyhound to the Airport and then take the cab to the station. But I think my Greyhound all the way via Detroit makes sense.

Some Amtrak trains do stop at the Exchange Street Station downtown, but I think that%26#39;s out of the way for some routes...
