Niagara Parks CEO David Adames says the collaboration provides a hop-on, hop-off bus service from the Niagara Falls GO stop with a number of hotels and other Niagara Falls attractions.
"The inclusion of WEGO bus service in this ticket package connects our guests to our iconic Table Rock Centre, providing access to Niagara Parks sites and attractions as soon as they arrive in Niagara Falls," said Adames.

In August 2019, train service was expanded year-round offering single daily weekday trips and multiple weekend routes to Niagara Falls from Toronto.
Trips to Niagara Falls and St. Catharines had been temporarily suspended on the Lakeshore West line due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.
The summer train schedule between Toronto & Niagara Falls did return amid the pandemic in August 2020 with more than 1,200 customers riding the service on the first Saturday. Metrolinx promptly issued a release reminding travelers of rules around social distancing and mandatory face coverings.

The service was once again discontinued as of Jan. 9 due to diminishing customer demand.
