Ouch! The bus is like 60-80.00. We did have a train in the 1970s from Buffalo Central Union Station at these prices somebody must be willing to pay $$$$$$ for this puddle hop across Lake Ontario

Why not take the Maple Leaf?  Runs everyday from NYP to Toronto, gets into Toronto around 7:30pm. Don't recall the fare but we take her from Syracuse several times a year...even has a business class. Be prepared to spend about 2 hours on the Canadian side customs.

A bit misleading of a title....

 

Air Canada does not fly into Buffalo.

http://www.buffaloairport.com/Flight/Carriers.aspx

 

The flights that you see on Air Canada's web site are using their code share partner United, connecting through one of United's hubs.  Doing a search on those city pairs most often had me connecting though O'Hare, although I did see Newark used once in a while.   There is obvioulsy no demand for air service between the two cities.

An "expensive model collector"

Amtrak fare is $53 coach, $68 Business class. 4:41 hr. Reasonable. IMHO. Travelocity lists no non-stop flights. Lowest one stop fare is $398 for a 4h 18m flight via JFK with a 45 min connection. Lv 6:28 PM, Ar 10:48 PM. Change planes required. Might want to consider renting a car

Hertz has a $69 one-way rental in a Corolla from Buffalo Airport to Toronto. You are on your schedule and can stop in Niagara Falls on the way……but as others have said.: take Amtrak's Maple Leaf (it becomes a VIA train at the border)
