Getting around by bus and coach Ontario

In Canada, Megabus mainly serves the Montreal-Kingston-Toronto route for a modest price, albeit much more expensive than before the pandemic. These buses (with free wifi) also serve the Greater Toronto Area, the Niagara Peninsula and some American cities from the country, with or without connections (notably Detroit and Chicago). Megabus is also present in the United States (several hundred cities served, most of them on the East Coast and in the Great Lakes region) and in the United Kingdom.
