BUD The article announces Busbud's 2026 Traveller's Best Awards, recognizing Canadian bus operators. While Busbud is a global platform, the awards focus on Canadian excellence. The sentiment towards Busbud itself is neutral as it is the platform facilitating the awards, not directly receiving an award for its own operational performance in this context.

MONTRÉAL, Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Today, Busbud, a leading global ground travel booking platform, announced the winners of its Canada Traveller's Best Awards 2026, recognizing the top bus operators in Canada who deliver exceptional service. The Traveller's Best Awards, based on thousands of reviews from customers who booked trips with Busbud in 2025, celebrate Canadian bus operators across the country who have continuously received stellar traveller reviews from locals as well as tourists in 2025.

This year's program honors a diverse group of operators and frontline heroes who have demonstrated resilience and a steadfast commitment to quality. Driven entirely by the voices of our travellers through verified reviews and booking data, Busbud has identified the operators that are not just moving people, but elevating the standard of travel across the provinces, while also celebrating the individual staff members whose personal dedication ensures that every journey meets the high expectations of the modern passenger.

"Intercity bus operators provide a high-quality, essential service that keeps our communities connected. I'm proud that we're able provide these unsung heroes the visibility they've earned", says John Stepovy, Senior Regional Director, Commercial at Busbud. "We are especially proud to honour Samuel as Driver of the Year and Tess Customer Service as Person of the Year; it is the people on the front lines who truly drive the industry forward."
