The corridor

Three city pairs, one corridor

Ottawa, Toronto and Montréal. Each page below covers both directions of travel; the distance and the drive are the same whichever way you're pointed.

    About this route

Best-case and uncongested, not a promise.

Why this corridor

Something was taken away, and nothing replaced it

Voyar did not choose this corridor because it looked promising. It chose it because scheduled coach service across Central Canada stopped, and the people who relied on it still need to travel.

  • The coach service ended

    Greyhound ended inter-city bus service in Central Canada in May 2021, after withdrawing from Western Canada in 2018. Routes that had run for decades stopped, and most were never picked up by anyone else.

  • The cars are already going

    Private cars make all three of these drives every day with empty seats in them. The capacity is on the road already; nobody has to build it, buy it, or schedule it.

  • What is missing is the matching

    An empty seat is only useful if you know who is in the other one and whether the drive suits you both. That is the part Voyar is building, and it is the reason the corridor is the whole business rather than a first market.

The drive

Three distances, three different trips

It is one road, but two hours and five and a half hours are not the same journey, and they do not ask for the same kind of company.

  • Ottawa – Montréal

    Two hours. Short enough that the driver was making the trip anyway, long enough that the other seats matter. A day trip in both directions if you leave early.

  • Ottawa – Toronto

    Four and a half hours. Long enough to need a stop, and long enough that whether you want to talk stops being a small question.

  • Toronto – Montréal

    Five and a half hours. A commitment on both sides. This is the drive where being matched on how you travel, not just where you're going, earns its place.

What it costs

The driver sets the price. Voyar adds its fee on top.

No surge, no dynamic pricing, and no fare Voyar decides on your behalf.

  • The driver sets the seat price

    Whoever is driving decides what a seat on their trip is worth. Voyar does not set it, raise it, or move it with demand.

  • The platform fee is added on top

    Voyar's 20% is added to the driver's price, never taken out of it. Both numbers are shown to the rider before anything is booked.

  • There is no fare to quote yet

    Voyar has not launched, so no seat on any of these routes has a price. What is settled is the mechanism, not the number.
