Do you offer one-way tickets?
Currently, we only offer round trip (two-way) tickets. However, our round trip tickets are still cheaper than one-way Greyhound or flight tickets!
You are welcome to ride the bus one way (please let us know beforehand), but you must still pay the price for a round trip.

Are tickets refundable, in case I change my mind?
Tickets are refundable up to 7 days before the trip departure date. To refund your ticket, reach out to us at mustbus@ssmu.ca.
I'm not a mcgill student, can i still buy a ticket?
Due to the SSMU fee-levy that McGill students pay, the discounted tickets are only available for McGill students who opt-in.
However, on some trips where there are excess seats available, sales for non-McGill students will open at the last minute at the unsubsidized price.

What kind of bus will i be traveling on?
MustBus travels by charter or coach bus!
There are washrooms on the bus.
As for chargers, we can't ensure that every seat have a plug, so we highly recommend bringing your own portable charger.

what time should i arrive before the bus departs?
For both the outbound and inbound journeys, we require that passengers arrive at the departure location 15 to 30 minutes before the indicated time of departure (eg. if the bus is scheduled at 10:00am, you must arrive no later than 9:45am). This ensures enough time for ticket verification, ID check, and loading of luggage.
How many bags am I allowed to bring?
Each ticket entitles you to 1 larger luggage (which will be stored in the bus' compartment underneath) and 1 personal item.
Where are the drop-off / pick up locations?
Both departure and arrival locations will be specified via the confirmation email prior to your trip.
Typically the departure location is usually by the Bronfman Building or on Rue McTavish. However, please check your email for the precise meeting point.

Will there be rest / food stops along the way?
Longer trips to locations such as New York City trips will have 1-2 stops, while the shorter trips vary-- stops are up to the discretion of the bus driver and the passengers.
All major rest stops specific to your trip are included in our travel guides, which are emailed to you prior to the trip.
