Bus ticket prices to travel from one region to another in Quebec are so high that it costs less to take a train trip to New York than to spend a weekend in Jonquière.
The QMI Agency compared the prices of various round-trip trips from Montreal, taking the weekend of February 2 to 4 as reference dates.
The exercise produced astonishing results: it often costs less to travel longer distances towards the United States and by dealing with American companies than to travel within Quebec territory by doing business with carriers here. .

The price of a getaway to New York ($162.52 for 596 km) or Philadelphia ($238.45 for 735 km) is in fact lower than the round trip between Montreal and Rimouski ($213.58 for 539 km).
Montreal, Quebec
The cost of a quick hop between Quebec and Montreal is comparable to a weekend in New York, but still lower.

For our reference weekend, the train trip, with VIA Rail, costs $96.58 taxes included. By bus, with Orléans Express, the price is $139.32, still with taxes.
Thetford Mines
It is still possible to travel cheaply without leaving the borders of the Quebec state, even if the opportunities are rarer.
The round trip between Thetford Mines and Quebec, with Autobus A1, costs $57.
A difficult context
Called to react, the coach company Keolis Canada, the parent company of Orléans Express, said it was “very aware” that intercity transport must “remain affordable”. This is an “essential service” for thousands of Quebecers, indicates the company, emphasizing that it must operate in a difficult context.

benefits of masturbation
In addition to being a great way to learn regarding yourself, masturbation has many other benefits, especially for mental health, and it’s definitely not as unhealthy as outdated stereotypes suggest. The benefits of masturbation include:
1. Relieve stress
Everyone is stressed. The pressure is too much. The best and most effective remedy for this is masturbation. Because having sex alone releases large amounts of oxytocin, it’s your secret weapon once morest stress. Oxytocin is a hormone, also known as the cuddle hormone, that helps lower the stress hormone cortisol. So if you’re wondering where that deep sense of calm following masturbation comes from: it’s oxytocin, the ultimate stress killer.
2. Strengthen the immune system
Scientists agree: masturbation is good for your health. If you masturbate regularly, your immune system will strengthen. How does this work? Oxytocin and dopamine released during masturbation ensure that cortisol levels in the blood decrease. This creates ideal starting conditions for the immune system. In addition, studies have found that following orgasm, the number of white blood cells increases significantly, especially the number of natural killer cells, which help fight infections. Therefore, if you don’t like drinking ginger tea in the fall, you can use a vibrator.
3. Orgasm can enhance mood
In addition to oxytocin, masturbating releases endorphins, the feel-good hormones that put you in a good mood at the push of a button. The wonderful thing regarding endorphins: This messenger substance is so long-lasting that it can counteract even the worst of low moods.
4. Better sleep quality
Not surprisingly, you’ll sleep better following masturbating, but it also has a stress-reducing effect. Orgasms, even self-induced ones, can be a reliable sleep aid. If you have trouble falling asleep because your mind doesn’t want to go out, you should try to fall asleep on your own more often. It’s definitely a more fun way to fall asleep than listening to a radio drama or counting sheep.
