In today's adventure, we hop on the Tunnel Bus and experience the ease of traveling from Detroit, Michigan to Windsor, Ontario!
The Tunnel Bus is an incredibly simple and affordable way to cross the border between these two cities. At just $7.50 each way (accepted in either US or Canadian currency), you can enjoy a seamless journey without breaking the bank. Keep in mind that the bus operates on an hourly schedule, so make sure to plan accordingly!
Going from Detroit to Windsor was surprisingly quick, taking us less than 5 minutes to cross the border. However, our return trip to Detroit was a different story. Due to the Detroit Tigers game happening at the same time, it took us over an hour to get back.
Join us as we navigate this international adventure and share our experiences on the Tunnel Bus (we even run into a bit of unexpected drama when a toll worker questions us about recording at the toll site!). Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to Flux City!

You can record on federal ground.

Fun fact: The UK and France have a similar tunnel, but on a much larger scale. Instead of driving through the tunnel, your car gets loaded onto a train that takes you through the tunnel. The trip is 35 minutes, to travel 50 km through the Channel Tunnel. You can also get a Eurostar train from London to Paris or vice versa.

I didn’t think the shuttle bus still existed. I used to catch it in front of the McNamara years ago. Way easier to come home after hours at Cheetah’s, than trying to cross driving while blotto. EDIT: at the 7:00 mark, it was a trip to hear the driver say you’re the 3rd American passenger in 3 years to utilize the bus line.

Hi flux city, I’m here today from London, England because I met a lady yesterday from Windsor who’s on vacation in London…when I met her yesterday (12th Monday) she had just flown in that morning, we met as she was walking past Downing Street the home of the British prime minister..it’s always interesting meeting folks from different parts of the world because now you can look it up within seconds and watch RU-vid videos on it…thanks for your video it’s short but very informative..cheers mate…

Good vid bro ! Nice to see this bus back ! . Its almost like you can step out of Mariners Church and on to the bus !. Its a unique idea having this run. Get using it people !>

@yourhighnesspotatoelord3695 Год назад

Cool video. I usually drive my car using the tunnel to go to Detroit. I think it's usually faster than Ambassador Bridge. I hope you enjoyed your time here in Windsor. Detroit and Windsor used to be called twin cities.

How they check your passport? Does officer enter bus or you have to step out and check in somewhere? Sorry never been in Detroit, but planning next week

@FluxCity 10 месяцев назад

You have to step off the bus and walk into customs. They'll then ask you a few questions, and in most cases, you'll be on your way!

@darcyperkins7041 Месяц назад

My most interesting "border crossing" ever was when I took the overnight cargo/passenger ship from Kingstown, St. Vincent to Port of Spain, Trinidad in 1993. The customs and immigration officers came right onto the deck of the ship, set up two tables and their other stuff, made everyone line up, and then checked and processed all of us. Ended up spending 8 months there (after4 months in St. Vincent). One of the best years of my life!

@maggyspace7319 Год назад

My girlfriend is coming through Detroit to Windsor, do you have to prebook tickets on the bus?

@iamgriff Год назад

from what I remember it is simply a shuttle that runs back and forth during specific hours. You wait at a bus stop like any other bust stop. No pre booking is necessary

@kjlah1 10 месяцев назад

Do you have to prebook or prepay for anything, or can you just show up with appropriate cash/card and your passport at one of the stops?

@blankpaper1 10 месяцев назад

No. It is just a regular bus stop. No need for reservation. Have $7 even CA or US with your passport or enhanced license. The rides end at 9pm and if you get stuck you have to take the yellow/blue Victory cab that can run you $50 one way

Thanks for this interesting video.I always wondered if you could get from Detroit to Windsor without a car. I also wondered how they handled the boarder crossing procedure. You touched on it when you said the bus stops and you check in at an office at the border. I have taken the train to Detroit and thought it would be interesting to cross over to Windsor and take the VIA train on to Toronto.

@eddieawa9390 Год назад

I didn't see you checking with customs and immigration on either side !!

@FluxCity 10 месяцев назад

I checked in on both sides but didn't feel comfortable recording that process. It took less than 5 minutes on the Canadian side, but it took about 20 minutes once we got back to the States due to a bus full of Detroit Tiger fans needing to get checked in.

@Marlene837 10 месяцев назад

Did you know that the Canadian federal, provincial and muncipal government at the City of Windsor has been violating the constitutional rights of Windsor/Essex County citizens because of that tunnel bus? They would rather spend money on that bus to go over to Detroit than to spend it on transit to towns in Essex County to get to jobs. The City of Windsor and Transit Windsor had been violating the Canadian Constitution Act, 1982's mobility and equality clauses for 37 years just to racketeer with Detroit sports teams. Both the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario and the Canadian Human Rights Commission have recently passed the buck on on each other fighting over whose jurisdiction enforcing Ontario's or Canada's human rights codes. Mayor Drew Dilkens also offered free tickets to staff to the Belle Isle Grand Prix using Transit Windsor's tunnel bus as a bribe to go there. That's called corruption. Too bad the Detroit Mayor has let it happen. I understand the Mayor of Windsor attended his swearing in ceremony.

You need to bring this up with your local MP’s and Provincial MLA’s! Let the people elected know that it’s unnacceptable for Canadian taxpayers to fund transit across to America. They better be putting in their fare share cause we all know America has done NOTHING to help their neighbours up north when we countlessly always come thru for them. In Vancouver we have bus service to the border but passengers must disembark and walk across the border then get on a USA transit bus. We don’t fund service across our border. Plus the americas always take from us and NEVER return anything besides complaints, racism and divisiveness.
