GREYHOUND CANADA
Greyhound Canada has been a longstanding partner of Hostelling International Canada since 1998. We've been working together to develop travel related programs in schools, and to make travelling affordable to youth.
Greyhound Canada encourages young travelers - through the discounts provided and the geographical area covered in the transportation industry - to learn about new peoples and places.
In July 2008 a new agreement was signed to strengthen our partnership by distributing all HI-Canada membership cards through the www.greyhound.ca website, and the Adult membership card in Greyhound stations across Canada. Based on the same agreement, Greyhound provides the following discounts to Canadian and international HI members:
- 25% off one-way or return trips in Canada.
- Free upgrade from 7 day Discovery Pass to 15 day Discovery Pass for any trip starting in Canada. This pass can be used for travel in North America, including Mexico. Members save $110 when purchasing the pass.
30% off personal pre-paid forward station-to-station shipping in Canada
Greyhound Discounts are well appreciated and used by our members in Canada. They are promoted by both partners using different tools: posters in Greyhound stations and HI-Canada hostels, publications (HI Hostels in Canada map brochure), regional e-newsletters, and websites:
