Planning
For your own safety, when you plan a group outing, you have to make sure that you are in compliance with the laws with respect to bus transportation; for more information, visit the Association des propriétaires d’autobus du Québec (APAQ) Web site.
The maximum on-duty time for a driver is 13 hours of driving a 15 hour of continuous work shift.
You must supply a detailed itinerary of your trip, one week before departure for that trip.
If you must stop along the way for a meal, make sure you made reservations at that restaurant before leaving, so that your stop will not be too long.
If you are making a long trip, plan stops every 3 hours to enable passengers to refresh and the driver to rest a bit; these stops can even make use of rest areas.
Customs
If you are planning a trip to the United States, ensure all passengers have photo identification (driver’s licence, health insurance card) a passport; this will save time at the border with the tightened security measures put in place since 2001.
For more information, please visit the Passport Canada Web site.
To avoid unnecessary delays and to ensure meeting the network security standards, please visit the Transport Canada Web site.
