Optimum way for traveling to Toronto

If you want to go to Toronto for a weekend, I think I’ve discovered the optimum way Possible:
Using the “Carpool-daily” service on Friday, you can be picked up at 5:45 PM from Namur station and you will be in Toronto before 11:30 PM, so you can still catch up with the rest of the night. (Total cost: 45$)
Now, for squeezing every little drop out of weekend, Use “Coach Canada” Bus on Sunday at 9:00 PM and you’ll be in Montreal, somewhere around 3:30 AM. If you’ve used all your energy as you were supposed to do, there shouldn’t be any problem sleeping the whole 6 hours and a half in the bus. Go home, try to sleep for 2 more hours, take a shower and go to work. (Cost: 51$ Tax included + Cab fare (if you can find any better way of transportation at 3:30 AM, well! Be my guest))

Don’t forget to bring a pillow! That’s the most essential part of all

*Total hours in Toronto: 45 (out of weekend’s 48! WOW)
*Total Cost: Around 100$
*Why you should treat yourself like this? If you’re not in love or don’t have a long distance relationship, couldn’t think of anything but plain stupidity!

Snoozing right in front of your monitor at the office while your boss is staring at you ......PRICELESS

An alternative method of trasport:
1. catch a ride with kasra: kasra.normofidi@mail.mcgill.ca at 6 p.m. on Friday night from Yonge and York Mills Subway Station directly to downtown Montreal. Total travel time 4:45 hh:mm. arriving at 10:45-11:00 p.m.

Ride back to Toronto on Sunday 4 p.m.
Arriving at around 9.

Total Cost of Round trip: $70 ($35 each way).
I don't go back and forth every week but I do occaisionally. I have family, friends and most importantly the love of my life in Montreal.
