Toronto is getting a super-cheap $15 bus to Montreal for the summer

Enjoying summer in Canada is all about jamming as much fun as possible into the few warm-weather months we get each year, which includes hitting up all of your local parks and patios, getting out into nature, taking part in the flurry of events on offer, and escaping for a day trip or weekend getaway while the temps are high.

On that latter point, there are countless cutesy small towns and charming cities that you can get to within a few hours' trip from Toronto — a trip that is going to be even cheaper and easier this summer thanks to a new promotion from Megabus.

Starting later this month and lasting nearly all summer long, the North American travel operator is running a sale for seats on its routes between Toronto and Kingston, as well as Toronto and Montreal.

A total of 10,000 tickets will be lowered to as cheap as just $9.99 plus a reservation fee for the former line, and $14.99 for the latter.

In comparison, at the time of publication, round-trip flights from T.O. to MTL range from $218 to $507 for a few-day trip during the next few weeks (per Google Flights), with many fares not including carry-on baggage. Trains with VIA Rail are anywhere from $71 to over $200 per direction.

The deal runs from June 24, 2025 until August 27, 2025, but tickets must be booked at least two weeks out. Megabus also notes that "fares may vary based on date and time of travel and are based on availability on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays."

It also notes what appear to be blackout dates of June 28, July 1, July 2, August 2 and August 5-6.

Other new low-cost bus routes can take you from Toronto to prime summer destinations like Bruce Peninsula and Wasaga Beach, Niagara Falls, New York City, Owen Sound, Ottawa, Tobermory, Peterborough and more.
