FedBus Services Are Coming to an End 

After decades of helping students get around GTA and London, WUSA has made the decision to bid farewell to FedBus services at the end of 2026. With declining demand and rising expenses, it is no longer sustainable to run the service and the best allocation of student resources.  

To learn more about the reasoning behind this decision, please read this article. 

The last of FedBus operations will be December 6, 2026.  

Alternates to specific FedBus routes: 

All routes leave from University of Waterloo Terminal. Check live times in the GO Transit app/trip planner or Flixbus before you go, because schedules change each term.

FlixBus: FlixBus is another affordable and environmentally friendly alternative. It offers service to Guelph, Mississauga, Toronto Pearson International Airport and Toronto. FlixBus departs from downtown Kitchener and from Conestoga College Doon campus. 

Carpooling: This is another great alternative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increasing your social circle, and save money by sharing the gas bill and parking costs. In 2026, Waterloo launched its first sustainable transportation plan, Shift:Mobility, for carpool matching and preferential parking.
