Transportation

Québec's territory is huge. By road, it would take more than a full day to travel from east to west. However, the network of roads makes it easy to travel from one city to another by car or by bus. Several private bus companies operate in Québec. In larger towns, buses arrive and depart from a single bus station.

It is also possible to travel by train, but only certain big cities in Québec are linked by rail.

Plane travel is obviously the fastest. Flights link major cities and are the only way of getting to certain remote areas.

	PRACTICAL ADVICE
	To get intercity bus schedules and fares, contact the private bus companies. In smaller towns, find out from municipal services where to get intercity buses.
