Local city bus service to these points is limited (one bus may turn up once or twice an hour, with evening and weekend service rather limited). The best option for getting downtown from the train station is by taking a taxi, which will run you under $15. By bus, the best option is the #18 Train Station Circuit, which is timed to match most scheduled train arrivals (note that VIA trains may well run late). The #18 will deliver the traveler to the downtown core on Princess Street. The C Kingston Centre bus runs every half-hour (every hour evenings and weekends), and delivers the traveler to the Kingston Shopping Centre. From there, transfers are available to all points of the city. The fare is currently $2.25 CAD one way.
