Traveling up from CT and looking for a way to get to the game this Sunday Expand There is a terrific service I use called @plenzmd1, but it’s very exclusive. I don’t have an actual intelligent answer for you, but you could probably Uber there. Getting back might be a lot trickier. Curious to hear what kind of responses you get. It does seem like an opportunity for somebody. In the past I’ve gone with an employee group from my hotel, which for a fee came with complete tailgating experience. That was pretty cool, but I’d check in advance to find out which week they were doing that.

PittsforDave Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) There’s this great service called Uber that can give you a Lyft. Edited November 20, 2018 by PittsforDave 1 3

Expand Good luck with the ride back unless you hang out in a lot or bar for a good while. Even IF you can make it work, I wonder what the surge pricing would be for that? I was trying to get home from a restaurant/bar 1.5 miles from my house at the same time a Braves game let out about 3 miles away. Ended up paying almost $30 for 1.5 miles because the wife refused to walk it (late at night, crossing a highway, she’s NOT the prima dona type).

CTBLO716 Posted November 20, 2018 Author Posted November 20, 2018 Last time we were up in Buffalo we were able to find a restaurant that did a "party bus" to and from the game. Just seeing if there was one in the downtown/canal street area

Guffalo Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 My neice priced Uber to and from UB and it was $50 each way. I wonder why there is no shuttle service from downtown (unless some of the bars have them) 1

PromoTheRobot Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) The #14 Abbott Rd bus will get you from Mohawk & Washington Sts. to McKinley Mall. You'll have to walk the rest of the way. It leaves hourly at the :30. http://metro.nfta.com/Routes/pdfs/14.pdf Edited November 20, 2018 by PromoTheRobot 1
machine gun kelly Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Why don’t you just UBER at 8 am to Hammer’s lot, and when the game is over, they always have the 4 pm game(s) on so you wait a couple of hours and a clear path on UBER. Simple and you’ll be with TBD people there. wait out the traffic. 5

Expand Wait....you’re bringing a special lady friend....and you want “stuff” from teef? Is this lady friend your mother? If it weren’t for the holiday weekend (family coming from all over) and a couple other details, I’d try to make this one. It sounds like a lot of my favorite clowns will be there! Where clowns gather....I fit right in! 1

reddogblitz Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 I rode a "Rally Bus" from the dinosaur barbecue downtown to the Monday Nighter. It was sweet. I would recommend it. The only downside to a game at the Ralph is getting out of there once it's over.

Hitch is what I would do.

CTBLO716 Posted November 20, 2018 Author Posted November 20, 2018 Listen, i dont need the wise ass comments anymore. I was born in Buffalo, relocated to CT (not my choice) and since my Grandmother passed I now have to stay downtown. Came to this forum for help thinking that someone would give me decent advice. What happened to the city of good neighbors 1
