About Maritime Bus

Maritime Bus is a Canadian bus company based in Charlottetown, on Canada’s east coast. Its passenger services are based around Canada’s ‘Maritimes’ (hence the name), which incorporates the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia as well as Prince Edward Island.

Maritime Bus was founded in August 2012 and conducted its first passenger services in December of the same year. Maritime Bus serves 3561 routes and connect 55 towns and cities in Canada. Some of its most popular destinations include Halifax, Saint-John, and Dartmouth, plus Moncton, Dieppe, and Truro.

Focused on providing great value services, onboard facilities are limited to restrooms, so be sure to have your devices fully charged and entertainment to hand before taking your seat. However, the company still claims the most modern coach fleet in North America. In addition, prices on Maritime Bus coaches start at just $8.91.

Maritime Bus has been an official Wanderu partner since 2019. This means travelers have a reliable and easy-to-use place to check schedules and book cheap Maritime Bus tickets wherever they are in the world. Use Wanderu, and you won’t face any unexpected charges added at checkout!

Maritime Bus Bus Guide & FAQs

Yes, Maritime Bus offers WiFi on their buses. Although most trips with Maritime Bus will have WiFi as advertised, some buses might not come equipped with WiFi and onboard WiFi can lose its connection in rural areas. We recommend you bring a book or download a movie just to play it safe. Maritime Bus WiFi is generally best used for surfing the web, checking emails and chatting with friends; you shouldn’t count on the WiFi to binge watch your favorite show.

Yes, there are power outlets onboard Maritime Bus buses. You can generally find one or two sockets per row of seats, so be a good traveller and check if your seat neighbor might want to charge up their devices as well. With the onboard power outlets, you can charge both a computer and USB devices with a USB power adapter that typically comes with most phones and tablets.

Since Maritime Bus might sometimes use replacement bus vehicles, not all trips are guaranteed to have power points. We recommend to bring a power bank to charge your phone for all trips over 2 hours, just in case.
