Transport
Transport in Canada - how to get around a huge country: airports, domestic flights, trains, intercity buses, and city transit. This section will hold practical guides: how to get from point to point, roughly how long it takes, and what the options are.
The main international gateways are Toronto Pearson (YYZ), Vancouver (YVR), Montreal-Trudeau (YUL) and Calgary (YYC). It’s handy to plan transport together with the “Car rental” and “Road trips” sections.
