phorbesie Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Has anyone taken a bus to Montreal besides the Voyageur ones? (from Ottawa). The last time I went (on Voyageur from Ottawa bus depot), it was about $70 return for the bus trip. It seems like there should be a cheaper option, since Montreal is only 2 hours away!! Does anyone know if there are local/slower cheaper buses?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 www.mcgill.ca/classified then click rides. THere are people that go back and forth every day. Might be able to swing that. Usually 15-20 each way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phorbesie Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I need something that's flexible in terms of times and dates though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phorbesie Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I guess I just don't get why there aren't stupid buses for less! I took the bus to Kanata and back the other week...it took 3 and 1/2 hours and cost only $3. I know this is different...but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 you could always hijack an OC bus. Lots of company for the trip, and your transfer might be good in MTL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 that does seem pricey- the one from peterborough to toronto is only $16 and it takes something like 2 hours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
