For solo travellers and pairs, Megabus or FlixBus from Toronto to Montreal is hard to beat — $40–$80 a seat, multiple departures a day. But the second your group hits 20 people, the math flips fast.
The seat-cost crossover
A 56-passenger charter from Toronto to Montreal runs about $2,950 round-trip on an overnight schedule. That's roughly $53 per passenger if you fill the coach — and you get door-to-door service, your own schedule, no station transfers, and the bus waits at your hotel.
What you actually pay for with a charter
- Pickup at your school, office or hotel — not Bay Street terminal
- Drop-off at your exact Montreal venue
- The bus waits at your destination
- Luggage stays on board the whole trip
- Driver handles routing, fuel, and rest stops
- Group stays together — no missed connections
When Megabus wins
Solo trips. Pairs. Groups under 10 with flexible timing. If you're fine getting to Bay Street terminal at 7 AM and standing in line, Megabus is the right call.
When a private charter wins
School groups. Weddings. Sports teams. Corporate offsites. Any group of 20+. Any trip with luggage, equipment or a tight schedule. Any trip where being late = a real problem.
