Canada Travel Forum

I would like to go on a trip to the Prairies by Greyhound bus (I'm from Quebec); as a HI member the 14-day Discovery Pass would cost just $213. The thing is that for such a long trip (about 55 hours), it's an absolute necessity to have my bag on the bus (food, spare clothes/underwear, toothbrush, etc...)

Last December, Greyhound had announced that it had banned all carry-on baggage from its buses without exception. But this seems to be a hoax; the company website says carry on bags are allowed. I don't want to find myself stuck in a bus without any of the essential stuff so I need to know who is right!

Has anyone here been on a Greyhound bus in Ontario or the Prairies recently? Were you allowed to have a carry-on bag?

Thanks.

There was a time a couple years ago when they stopped due to a murder of a passenger. They had no security check set up. That may have changed. Try calling them or e-mailing them.

much more accurate to call them directly considering you live in an area with a free phone number

Yes, I was wondering if they had thought of that before they found, joined and posted on VT, then came back to read the replies.

Yes, carry-on luggage is permitted...
