How to travel without a car

If you want to take the train from Ottawa to Saskatoon, then take the bus from there to Regina. I'd probably just fly from Ottawa to Regina though - would save you so much time.

Of course there are buses between Regina and Saskatoon.

My question though is why would you want to spend 2 or 3 days traveling by train and bus instead of flying? The cost savings does not merit the time spent.

i doubt the train and bus are cheaper, every time i look at taking a train somewhere thinking it would be neat, the price makes me close the page a few minutes later.

Hitchhike, the RFD way.

I did some research...

You will need to take the train Ottawa to Toronto, then the Canadian Toronto to Saskatoon. The Canadian leaves Toronto @ 10 PM one day and arrives in Saskatoon @ just before 11 PM 2 days later (so in my sample Sept 7th to Sept 9th) the cost is $ 363.86 for the one way fare. Plus for all this you get a seat / chair (sleep / snooze upright) and any food / bevvys you buy are extra.

The STC bus service did shut down recently in Saskatchewan (maybe why you are asking this question) but both Greyhound & the newly formed Rider Express provide service. For the dates I used, Rider Express seems to offer the most direct routes & lowest cost @ around $ 50, but nothing until the morning of the 10th. So now you are probably adding on the cost of a Hotel Room.

By the time all is said & done you'll have spent 4 days on the exercise of getting to Regina, and over $ 500.

Given all that, I'd fly if this car is really that important to you

Personally, I'd probably look for a similar vehicle in Quebec or Ontario... Far less hassle.
