"I had the very bright idea of travelling overnight from
Montreal to Niagra Falls to save money on a night in a hostel. I
didn't check into the stop over in Toronto all that carefully, and
disovered in Kingston that I would be arriving at 3.30 am, and
that my connection was not until 6.45. Thankfully I had read this
webpage and was preparded for the terminal to be closed.
The Bus driver was most helpful in pointing out a 24 hour cafe
across the road from the closed bus terminal when we arrived at
3.30 am. The Bus Terminal opens at 5am, and it was a long wait
with other passengers and a few homeless guys who couldn't get
beds in the nearby shelters. I don't think I would have liked to
be alone and waiting in the area. There were about 5 other
passengers waiting with me.
When the terminal opened at 5, I found only seats with armrests,
so put my big backpack on the seat next to me and fell asleep for
an hour. My neck was sore when I woke up, but the rest was good. I
think there may have been annoucements, but not too loud. I felt a
lot safer when more passengers had arrived, and by 6.30 it was
crowded and quite noisy.
