Via Rail Canada (generally shortened to Via Rail or Via; styled corporately as VIA Rail Canada) is an independent Crown corporation, subsidized by the Minister of Transport, mandated to offer intercity passenger rail services in Canada.

A ticket is a voucher that indicates that one has paid for admission to an event or establishment such as a theatre, amusement park or tourist attraction, or permission to travel on a vehicle (such as with an airline ticket, bus ticket or train ticket) typically because one has paid the fare.

A ticket may be free, and serve simply as a proof of reservation.

A public transport timetable (also timetable and North American English schedule) is a document setting out information on service times, to assist passengers with planning a trip.

Typically, the timetable will list the times when a service is scheduled to arrive at and depart from specified locations.

It may show all movements at a particular location or all movements on a particular route or for a particular stop.

Traditionally this information was provided in printed form, for example as a leaflet or poster.

It is now also often available in a variety of electronic formats.

A fare is the fee paid by a passenger for use of a public transport system: rail, bus, taxi, etc.

In the case of air transport, the term airfare is often used.

A bus station is a structure where city or intercity buses stop to pick up and drop off passengers.

While the term bus depot also refers to a bus station, it can also refer to a bus garage.

A bus station is larger than a bus stop, which is usually simply a place on the roadside, where buses can stop.

It may be intended as a terminal station for a number of routes, or as a transfer station where the routes continue.
