Niagara Falls (Ontario) Train & Subway Services

VIA Rail Canada's Toronto-Niagara Falls train offers two departures per day in either direction, one in the morning and one in the late afternoon. On some days in summer there is a third train. The trip is about 2-1/2 hours direct to Niagara Falls from Union Station in Toronto. One of the trains daily continue on to New York City, via Buffalo. On the way back, it leaves New York in the morning and arrives in Niagara Falls in late afternoon.

A further four trains per day each way are operated between Toronto and Niagara Falls, only on weekends and (Canadian) holidays and only in the summer, by Toronto-based commuter train operator GO Transit. This service operates weekends and holidays from late June through mid October (Canadian Thanksgiving). It uses the same stations in both cities as the VIA trains, although some intermediate stops use GO-only stations.

The Toronto-Niagara Bike Train (known in short as "The Bike Train") is an award-winning initiative in Southern Ontario allowing cyclists to travel by train on Via Rail to destinations across Ontario including Toronto, Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, and North Bay, as well as the city of Montreal in Quebec. The Bike Train initiative is independently coordinated, promoted, and ticketed service, utilizing existing Via Rail passenger trains, with an additional baggage car containing bike racks for 56 bicycles. Each passenger ticket for scheduled Bike Train departures includes both a passenger seat and a bike rack reservation.

The Niagara Falls Train Station, +1 888-842-7245 (toll-free), is located at 4267 Bridge Street, about 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) from the Falls and right across from the bus depot. Taxi service to the main tourist area at the Falls will run CAD 10-15.
