Operations are confined to the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, providing services in the main centres such as Toronto, Montreal, Kingston, Whitby and Niagara Falls. The division is mainly a mix of scheduled services and charter operations, with the addition of some transit, school bus and sightseeing tour operations.[1] Coach Canada was included in the April 2019 disposal by Stagecoach of its North American operations to Variant Equity Advisors.[2][3][4][5]

Operators

Approval under the Investment Canada Act was given to Stagecoach in October 1999,[6] to acquire Erie Coach Lines of London, Autocar Connaisseur Inc., of Montréal and Trentway-Wagar of Peterborough, which became the core of their Canadian operations today.

Gray Line Montreal, although also owned by Stagecoach, is independently operated.[7]
