A daytrip to St. Thomas – Canada’s Railway Capital – is finally possible without a car. It’s worth a visit.
I have also updated my Ontario intercity transport map for June 2024.
Tag: Intercity Bus
Since 2020, I have maintained an interactive map of bus and rail services in Ontario.

I am pleased to keep the resource going, and I appreciate the messages of support, as well as additions and corrections that […]
There are now five bus operators between Toronto and London. I tried out the newest operator on the scene and updated my Ontario intercity map.
On Saturday, April 8, GO Transit will introduce big changes to its rail and bus services. Brampton and Waterloo Region will see the biggest benefits, while a major gap in Ontario’s intercity bus network will finally get filled. However, major construction work on the Barrie and Stouffville Lines will require the bustitution of most trains […]

Between Toronto and Ottawa, five […]
The new Union Station Bus Terminal doesn’t work with Toronto’s weekend traffic. On Saturday, July 2, it took nearly an hour to get off the Gardiner and into the terminal.
With university and college campuses reopening for in-class instruction, white-collar workers slowly returning to the office, and pandemic restrictions receding, there are more intercity transport options in Ontario than at any time prior to March 2020.
However, the same old gaps continue to linger.
Ontario’s newest bus stop — a truck stop on the southern edge of London — may also be its worst.
Though increasingly irrelevant to Canadians, Greyhound’s final departure leaves new gaps in Eastern Ontario. Megabus’ new Toronto-Ottawa route doesn’t meet those needs
