With the new launch, Regina will become a key travel hub, with service to Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary, and Winnipeg.

“This launch reflects the growing demand we’re seeing for intercity bus travel as Canadians look for practical alternatives to rising travel costs and more flexibility in how they travel,” said Karina Frayter, head of communications at Flix North America.

The buses include free Wi-Fi, power outlets at every seat, spacious seating, and real-time trip tracking, the company said.

Tickets can be purchased online or on the FlixBus mobile app. flixbus.com
