There are two main bus systems I know about in Canada. One of which being the Go system, which will not be reviewed, as the information would be the exact same as it is in the Train post (below), but I will be doing the Greyhound system.
The Greyhound system is not as cheap as the Go system (for example, if I wanted to go from Guelph to York University, Go would charge me $11.35 while Greyhound would charge me $21.50. This is without my student discount) but they do travel into the United States of America, and you can book your seats online.
On a general trip, each person gets one piece of checked baggage, no heavier than 50lbs, as well as one carry on which may be no heavier than 25lbs, and one personal item (purse).
You may check baggage that is no heavier than 50lbs, but may be 70lbs if using Greyhound Shipping services. You may check 2 pieces of baggage free, and may check up to a total of 7 pieces per person (paying for the 5 extras). Bicycles may be checked, and you will have to pay a fee for a 'Bicycle Box' which is $10. You will also be charged $30 for 'over sized articles'.
If choosing your times, knowing how long your ride will be, and being able to purchase tickets online, Greyhound Coachlines are for you!
