LEGITIMATE QUESTION:: There is a TOLL CHARGE (?) for crossing the bridge into the U.S., and back into Canada ??? HOW is this paid, and is it in U.S. currency/ Canadian currency/ either/ Visa ???
Click to expand...

There are actually three toll bridges we will be crossing: One to get over the border, one at the North end of Grand Island, and one at the South end of Grand Island.

The Rainbow Bridge crosses the border right in the heart of Niagara Falls. It is free to go from Canada to the US, but costs to go from the US to Canada. They will accept US or Canadian cash, and will give change with the appropriate country's currency. It is $2.50 US, or $3.50 Canadian.

There is a toll to cross the bridge onto Grand Island, but no toll to get off of it. I don't know what their policies are about Candian money. More likely than not, if you just give them quarters, they won't care what nationality they are from. If you give them Canadian currency, or loonies or twonies, I don't know if they will discount it, and I don't know if they will give Canadian change.


So the summary is:
  • Going to SSBC
    • No toll to cross the border
    • 75 cents US at North Grand Island Bridge
    Returning from SSBC
    • 75 cents US at South Grand Island Bridge
    • $2.50 US or $3.50 Cdn to cross the Rainbow Bridge at the border

I wish I could tell you more about using Canadian funds at the Grand Island bridge, but unfortunately I have no experience doing that. :2:


Note to people in nieghboring states: if you have a pre-paid electronic toll tag on your vehicle, check with the issuing agency to see if it is honored by the New York State Thruway E-Z Pass system. If it is, you will get a discounted rate ($0.63 for the Grand Island Bridges) and may save you some time. My E-Z Pass tag works in MA, NJ, and PA. So if you have a toll tag from one of those states, it might work here.

Hmmm... good question. Will ezpass work on the thruway's ezpass system? That's a tough one, but I think it does. :rolleyes: :2:

EZpass, (and maybe other nearby state's toll passes) will indeed work for the Grand Island bridges, but will not work for the Rainbow Bridge border crossing. It won't work for the other border crossing bridges (Peace Bridge, Queenston-Lewiston Bridge, or the Whirlpool Bridge) either. You must still have cash (US for Canadian) for the border crossing bridges.

My ATM card doesn't work. :C:
Good thing I've got another one from my credit union. :cool:

Note this is thread related. SRFSNO is getting SSBC brakes installed.

I thought you were kidding.
I realy did have to go to the bank. This was my last chance to get this straightened out before Niagara. I tryed once already on May 2, this was my first chance since then.
ATM card works now. :cool:

I just drove by.
It's in the building and up on the lift. (y) :B:
 
COOL (y) Yea they told me to call round 2

And if there were any problems they were to call.
Like the wheels do not fit back on, Or the brake lines are Wrong.
No calls yeat.
 
It's up on a lift???  Who needs a lift with that thing?? :rolleyes:

Hey Waz  Don't take his brakes.. Just look at them... ;)
 
Yeah! He has 16" rims doesn't he?

I like the tire selection you get for towing with 16" rims.
I just have to decide if it's worth larger rims before i do a brake upgrade.
 
That is why I went 16" originally, WAZ, was Tire selection.
The only bad thing at the time was all Brake UP-Grades were for 18" rims of larger.

I Cant wait till 3:30 to get out of here.
 
I got brakes.

Not a whole lot of room on 16's.
Had to re-balance one tire up front.

Pedal feels a lot ,a lot better, stops cool. :cool:
Feels like it stops better than stock. (just rember I have 35" 125lb tire & rim @ all 4 courners.

No E stops yeat. want to break them in.

Guess I should start thread in brake section. with pic's
 
OK so thats not my front end. :6:
