Frequently asked questions

Exploring Canada by car

The transport system in Canada is very developed. The main types of land transportation are rail and road transport. By the length of her railway tracks, Canada is ranked among the leaders in the world. The length is measured at 85 thousand kilometers. But, despite this, vehicles take up most of the passenger traffic. The country is covered with many intercity bus routes. There are also bus flights to the neighboring country, the United States of America. When buying a bus pass for a certain period of time, there is a flexible charging system. The most developed road network can be found in the northern regions. Almost all tourist sites can be reached by bus. However, buses often do not go to National Parks, so you will have to rent a car or use a taxi. Renting a car is only possible if you are aged 23 and above. You will also need to provide a credit card. Renting of a car involves payment of insurance and local fees. Taxi tariffs are quite impressive. All taxis are registered and pooled in the system; payment in a taxi is strictly regulated.

Railway transport is divided into two types: transcontinental – along the border with America, and vertical, which is, from north to south respectively. Rail freight transport mainly predominates, with the most developed located in the south-eastern industrial regions of the country. Although, in some regions, commuter trains, as well as interregional passenger trains are very popular. The wagons in the trains are comfortable and quite clean. Major cities in Canada have a metro. Montreal and Toronto have four metro lines, linking both the country’s far regions and the largest shopping centers. In Vancouver the SkyTrain system prevails, which is also referred to as the “easy metro” system. A system of this type in Canada is the longest in the world, with fully automated control mode.
