Avis de J.J. / J.J's Advice

Depends on your time constraints. If you're in no rush, take the train to Edmonton, and transfer to a bus to Calgary.
The train leaves Toronto on Tuesdays, Thursday, and Saturdays at 22:00, arriving in Edmonton at 06:37, two days later. Go to http://viarail.ca for detailed rates and schedules, and to purchase tickets on-line. One-way tickets for adults start at $219.98. Significant discounts available for students and seniors.
Greyhound provides very frequent service between Edmonton and Calgary. Go to http://greyhound.ca for more info. Advanced-purchase price is $30 one-way.
Personally I don't like air travel, but if you don't have the time to spend two days on a train, then I guess you'd have to fly. Air Canada provides frequent service to Calgary, at a reasonable price, and to get info or buy tickets, go to http://aircanada.ca. One-way tickets start at $264.25 after taxes/fees.
If you like driving, all power to you, but it would end up being much more expensive, with hotel stays, food, and gas. Plus, for most of the way through northern Ontario, the roads are narrow two-lane deals, and can be quite frightening to drive on, with all the big trucks passing you and such.
If it were me, I'd take the train. Trains are comfortable, affordable, and are a whole experience, rather than a simple means of transportation. If you like, you can even rent a bed, or an entire suite on-board. The dining car provides great meals at reasonable prices, and are included with the ticket price for sleeping-car passengers. |
