Writing from Adelaide, the pot capital of Australia, I can say that as
smoking of any type is not allowed on any of our buses or in the bus
stations, we don't have to suffer that on our buses.  I understand
there may be a social stigma attached to being forced to admit to not
being able to travel by car in USA, but didn't think that extended to
North of the border.

 JW> Canada's biggest low cost airline, Westjet, is thriving. VIA Rail is

 JW> competition here.

Tiger Airlines, the cut-price version of Singapore Airlines, is now
based in Adelaide, and preparing to take on JetStar and Virgin for the
domestic market as well as overseas.  I have flown on them overseas,
and found their seats are just that little bit more cramped than the
others, so they may have problems in Australia unless they scale up the
seating to suit longer-legged locals.

Greyhound here went bust a few years ago, and were bought out by
McCaffertie's, while still keeping the name.  Usually referred to as,
"Skinny dog" after the picture on the side.
