guigsy Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 man, i think the bus would be pretty fuckin cool. i did the train and it kicked ass... i know its a little different, comfort wise, but its more the idea of seeing it all as you go by... bring lotsa drugs.

Super Freak Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 That will be the longest bus ride of your life. Do you have a friend to share the ride with, so you can keep your car? Hope it all works out for you. I agree with the others...It's really a hard go to make it work out there-you have to be dedicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much stuff are you taking? JetsGo can fly you from Toronto to Vancouver mid-week (I tried Wednesday, May 19 as an arbitrary day) for about $170 one-way. If you have too much stuff to fly with, you could always ship just your stuff by bus. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 are you still here? long bus ride = plenty of drugs (sleepy ones and muscle relaxants, not so much you get robbed though Rob) have you looked at any of the ride sharing websites? I came across a few a while back though I can't find my links... also, try different newsgroups for a ride, even alt.music.canada (more likely Canadian travel ones or london or BC ones) best yet, catch a band touring west and tell them they've got a free roadie for the trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggo Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 haha, i took the bus once! it wasn't that bad. i just slapped the headphones on and enjoyed the view. aside from being a little greasy when i got into TO (mmmm grease) i was none the worse for wear. i did it drug-free too, which is kinda funny cause i had an ounce of bc shrooms in my pocket.. hahaha! i was afraid i'd get all crazy on the bus and scare the babies. we did almost hit a moose up around wawa or something, but that's par for the course. and i met a man from hull who smoked his cigarettes with me (i bought him a new pack when we parted ways in sudbury). anyway - if you have a stash of good tunes to keep you company, it's not all that bad. bring deodorant. best of luck to you rob in whatever you decide - and remember what i told you on thursday - victoria is where it's at man!!! fuckin beautiful, nice little scene, nice people and wicked beaches at every turn... that's where i plan on putting down roots, someday.... :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Yeah I would go with a flight instead.. For less than $100 extra you can get there in 5 hours instead of 4 days! I've heard horror stories about taking the bus across Canada.. SO many stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggo Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 whateva. it's kinda cool, and i didn't have anybody next to me for the vast majority of the trip. i like seeing all those tiny little time-warp towns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Hey Beats, I wouldn't recommend the bus. I took it twice out to Vancouver. Once from Halifax and once from Montreal. Some substances may help along the way, but overall it's a pretty sucky trip. 80 hours on the bus with SOME opportunites to lie down, one bathroom, no showers and lots of interesting smells. True, it only costs 150 bucks. Try Jetsgo! They fly outta Hamilton and Toronto. Check out their Sunday deals on their webpage. The deals are only offered on Sundays. http://www.jetsgo.ca I just got a flight from Vancouver to Montreal for $160 taxes included. peace b.

paisley Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 just takin the bus from Winterpeg to Toronto I was left with a twitch in one eye and a leg I couldn't straighten out... and I love travelin (would drive out again anyday, but couldn't personally see the bus without any stops) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassedOutGuy Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 I have taken the bus, train and flew across the country and i will say i will NEVER do that cross Canada ride again.... the second time i said that as well and then got stuck in Banff and it literaly sucked the entire ride back... u never know if ur gonna get caught on a busy bus or not... and it really isnt that comfortable... for comfort factor id go with the train though it is VERY expensive as stated before... easily the most beautiful ride though... for convenience and speed id have to go with flying and shipping ur stuff greyhound express... too much fun trying something new to be had and too much time wasted sitting on a smelly bus and in bus stations... stop overs suck! Best of luck Rob ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
