Transportation in Canada

Canada offers various ways of going around the country. Traveling can be through air, rail, bus, ferry, cabs, or through car rentals. If you are traveling from one region to another, it is recommended that you travel by air. However, the cheapest way to transfer to another region is by rail and it actually runs across the country. If you will just travel to a different city, the bus is the cheapest way to go. But should you be in a hurry, you should know that major towns and cities actually have access to the subway.
