How to get from Ottawa to Regina for cheap?

Question

Hi all,

I'm looking to travel from Ottawa to Regina (and back) for cheap, as I'm a penniless student. If anyone knows of any special bus passes, or major discounts, or just has some good advice, it would be much appreciated!

Answer 1

hitch hike.  it costs nothing.   just stick out your thumb and hope for the best.

Answer 2

West jet has great seat sales- you just have to keep checking their website and be a little flexible with your dates of travel. A seat sale can be $746.90 ( everything included and return) and lower if you watch carefully.

I would not be afraid to take the Greyhound bus I have gone 3000 km and more on them, always found them relatively safe. Tragic incident that happened though. It is $469.80 plus taxes return to take the bus- with student discount of %10 if you have a Student ID. The trick to getting it even cheaper is to buy in advance. I went Winnipeg to Toronto for under $200 because I bought my ticket in advance- it is a discount of up to 55%. You need to call greyhound for this info 1-800-661-8747- not all discounts are on the website.

Answer 3

Voyageur/Greyhound bus systems.

Alternately, take Via Rail to Melville, SK, then catch a bus to Regina.

Answer 4

Greyhound gives a student discount. Be careful to not get decapitated.
