The Great Windsor Escape: How to Ditch Canada (Just Kidding) and Reach Detroit in Style (or Not-So-Style)
So, you're stuck in charming Windsor, eyeballing the glitzy lights of Detroit across the river. Don't worry, fellow traveler, there are more ways to reach Detroit than dodging mobsters on a jet ski (although, that would be a story for another time). This guide will unveil the various methods to traverse the six-mile distance separating you from American soil (or should we say, Motor City magic?).
Option 1: The Tunnel Bus - A Breeze...Except When It's Not
The Tunnel Bus is your classic, no-frills option. It's cheap, efficient, and takes you directly through the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. Pro tip: Download some podcasts for those inevitable customs delays. Because let's be honest, the "breeze" can turn into a bit of a wait sometimes.
Subheading: Fun Fact! Did you know the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel is the busiest commercial border crossing in North America? That's a lot of people (and hopefully not mobsters on jet skis) trying to get back and forth.
Option 2: Become a High Roller (Without the Dice)
Taxis are the epitome of convenience. Just hop in, tell the driver "Detroit, baby!", and watch the city lights approach. Heads up: This option comes with a slightly heftier price tag than the Tunnel Bus. But hey, if you're feeling fancy (or have expense accounts to impress), this is the way to go.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
Subheading: Pro-Pro Tip: If you're feeling social (and want to split the fare), consider rideshare apps like Uber or Lyft.
Option 3: Embrace Your Inner Olympian (Just Don't Run Through the Tunnel)
For the adventurous souls, there's always walking. It's a great way to see the sights (and burn off some poutine) - as long as you don't mind the border patrol giving you a funny look.
Subheading: But Seriously: Walking across the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel Bus Terminal is perfectly acceptable. Although, unless you're REALLY looking for a challenge, maybe stick to the bridge for your scenic walking adventure.
Option 4: Channel Your Inner James Bond (minus the Aston Martin)
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
Okay, this one might be a stretch, but hear us out. If you're feeling particularly daring (and have a friend with a boat), you could technically navigate your way across the Detroit River. Just remember, international maritime laws are a thing, so maybe avoid any elaborate chase scenes.
We highly recommend against this option.
