One thing that makes life worthwhile is travel. Work makes things complicated. Having the option to work on the go makes travel more reasonable. Every day, thousands of people make their travel dreams a reality by taking the bus. Whether the trip is long or short, departing from Toronto or New York, Busbud and our partner Cold Shot are here to make that dream come true.
For those looking to travel in Canada, specifically Western Canada, Cold Shot is an excellent option for travel. Use Busbud to check the bus schedules, ticket prices, and range of other services and features, including the chance at a free bus ticket. In addition, every time a customer takes five trips with Cold Shot, the sixth trip is free. Travellers just have to call 587-557-7719 no less than 24 hours in advance of the trip. It's hard to beat that benefit, especially for frequent travellers.
ㅤ
Booking is effortless. Just use the Busbud site. Enter the origin or departure location by city, and do the same for the destination. Provide the date of departure as well as the number of passengers. Then click the Search button. Busbud will do the rest.

A great way to use Cold Shot is as a route extension. For international travellers or non-locals, travelling in a country as large as Canada could be daunting. One thing to remember is that flying over Canada won't provide the same experience as driving. The natural beauty of the country is much easier to experience on the ground than in the air. This is all the more true for beautiful Alberta and British Columbia.
If a person flew into the Calgary airport and wanted a taste of the Canadian wilderness, a trip to Dawson Creek would do the trick. There are a few local attractions which include an art gallery and pioneer village. This part of British Columbia is for those who love the great outdoors. It is a place away from the hustle and bustle of city life. A ride with us is the best way to get there and still see Canada.
ㅤ
Cold Shot buses are 14 to 20 seaters in capacity. There are no luxury or special lines; just one standard class of service for travellers as well as a shipping/parcel service. This includes free next-day delivery. Pricing is super accessible. Some of the lowest tickets cost as little as CAD 10. ㅤ
Cold Shot offers high-quality travel at a reasonable price. Passengers can expect air conditioning on the buses as well as reclining seats. USB outlets and WiFi are also standard.
ㅤ
Departure locations are the place to start thinking about a trip. Cold Shot visits over 40 destinations throughout Alberta and British Columbia. Popular destinations include Calgary, Grand Prairie and Cold Lake.
