Coach Canada is the Canadian affiliate of Coach USA.

Charter services (rental of bus with driver) originating in most areas in Ontario can travel to anywhere in North America. However, Megabus operations are confined to the provinces of Quebec and Ontario and provide services under the Megabus brand in the main centres such as Toronto, Montreal, Kingston, and Niagara Falls. Coach Canada is mainly a mix of scheduled services, charter operations, 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]

In June 2024, Coach USA filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, blaming corporate impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The company has plans to sell its assets and has planning to sell its Megabus subsidiaries (including Coach Canada) to Bus Company Holdings, a unit of the Renco Group.[6]
