Three years after Greyhound stopped providing bus service in Canada, discount bus company FlixBus is expanding its Ontario routes to include daily runs from Toronto to Sudbury, with stops in between.
The new route connects Union Station in Toronto to the Ontario Northland Terminal in Sudbury. Buses will run daily, except Tuesdays, and will also stop at Pearson International Airport, Parry Sound, Port Severn, Waubaushene, and Sudbury’s Four Corners, according to an April 4 news release.
A one-way trip from Toronto to Sudbury costs $35.99, although passengers can on extras for a fee. Seat selection is $4.99, and $26.99 lets you “Travel neighbor-free” with no one in the next seat. Fares include a carry-on bag and one stowed bag, while extra luggage will cost more. There is also a $3.99 service fee on top of the ticket price. Payment options include credit card, cash, Google Pay, and Paypal.
“Our goal is for FlixBus to become synonymous with bus travel in Canada,” said Richard Szeri, senior manager of network planning for FlixBus.
“Customers in and around Sudbury can now enjoy convenient access to Toronto, including Pearson International, and transfers to Niagara Falls and the USA.”
In Ontario, FlixBus now has routes to over 20 destinations, including Ottawa, London, Niagara Falls, Hamilton, Kingston, Barrie, Kitchener, London, Mississauga, St. Catharines, and Windsor.
FlixBus’ connection with Greyhound means that passengers can travel back and forth to the U.S. on either brand’s buses, which opens up 2,300 destinations.
