  stuck in the Maritimes?
I've been trying to make some arrangements for getting back to Lennoxville on Monday or Tuesday and have found it to be rather frustrating. There are different bus companies covering different territories, and their websites are confusing and misleading.

See this page?

Does it not appear that Greyhound offers service all the way from Moncton to Lennoxville, if not directly, then through a partner bus line of some kind...? That's how I read it.

So I call the toll-free number. And they say, "no, actually, we don't offer that service. You'll need to call these three other bus companies to make your arrangements" (!!).

WHY have this whole schedule, complete with LAYOVER times and TRANSFER information, if you don't offer the ride...? Sheesh.

So I'm going to show up at the bus station and hopefully buy a ticket (from "Acadian Bus / SMT Eastern") all the way to Montréal (or to Riviere du Loup?), and cross my fingers that from the bus station in Montréal, it's pretty straightforward to then get a ticket to Sherbrooke. A quick taxi ride from Sherbrooke (after an eighteen-hour bus trip!), and I'll be back in L'ville.

Hopefully.
