Are Stopovers allowed on Greyhound?

Question

So I'll be bussing from calgary to toronto at the end of the summer. I can see from their FAQ that greyhound doesn't allowed stopovers if you have a ticket purchased in advanced. (i.e. not full price) I'm wondering if this is enforced by greyhound or not. from what I recall for multi-city trips you get a different ticket for each leg of the trip between major cities. if I wanna stop in winnipeg, what is to stop me from getting off there. and when i wanna continue the next day just getting back on the bus, i will still have my winnipeg to toronto portion of my ticket. What is distinguishing my ticket from someone who has just bought a ticket in winnipeg to toronto, and what are the chances the bus driver will call me on it?

Answer 1

If you are buying your ticket in advance, you might want to buy the Discover Pass.  It will allow you unlimited travel for a certain numbers of days.  You can stop over wherever you want, and take whatever route you want.

Answer 2

The tickets have specific dates on them.  You need to buy separate tickets if you are going to do that.  You could go to the local bus station and talk to a ticket agent about this ( calling them does NO good), but I believe they will tell you your ticket is only good for the date it was purchased for.  This is to avoid having more passengers show up than there are seats available.
