Bus Travel in Canada
In this fast paced world, the joys of 'travelling in the slow
lane' have largely been forgotten. Bus travel is not designed
to quickly whisk you from one location to another. Rather it is
designed to give you a relaxing tour of the country, stoping at
smaller towns, and letting someone else worry about the driving
and the gas prices. Air conditioned in summer and heated
in the winter, buses are a particularly excellent way to tour
Canada in our snowy seasons.
Buses are also an
excellent way to meet the locals, so if you want to
really meet some Canadians, hop on the
bus!
Bus travel in
Canada is limited to a few companies, aside from
localized bus and charter companies in various locations.
The phone book yellow pages for the city you are visiting
will list local charters.
