A new Greyhound express bus service to Toronto that can cost as a little as $1 has already begun at Western University, and should be offered at Fanshawe by January 18.

Greyhound has announced that a new Express bus will travel from Western University to Toronto on weekends, and Fanshawe's hopping on board.

Whether you're thinking of doing some sightseeing or travelling home for the weekend, this service provides an easy and inexpensive way to travel to Toronto for a weekend. The express service can cost as little as $1 each way if you book your trip far enough in advance.

There are currently two pick-up and drop-off points for Greyhound Express at Western University: at the Richmond Street main gates and on Oxford Drive opposite Lawson Hall. The route offers two daily trips to Toronto on Fridays and returns Sundays.

Fanshawe Biz Booth supervisor Kevin Masterson says he is in contact with Greyhound representatives and should have a Fanshawe Express bus service up and running by January 18. Masterson has high hopes for the new service. "If we do one like that, where it leaves every Friday and returns every Sunday, then we'll have students that will wait for that one (bus) - especially if it's a discounted fare."

The bus provides non-stop service to Toronto, reserved seats, free Wi-Fi and power outlets.

This announcement comes just two months after Greyhound expanded the express service from Toronto to London; Windsor; Ann Arbor, Michigan; Detroit; and Chicago. The new Western University stop began on January 11, and will continue to run on Friday and Sundays.
