Intercity Bus Services

Yes, the Detroit River.
I think I've still got the St Clair R. on my mind after a road trip in Michigan. There appear to be some border crossings -- by ferry -- south of Sarnia at "Sombra" and Walpole Island and I briefly wondered how easy these are to use -- presumably only accessible by car. Not exactly my neck of the woods but I've never heard tell of anyone using these crossings.

I’ve used the Walpole Island ferry once. Pedestrians and cyclists can use it, but it’s not easy to get to without a car.

There was a ferry service across the St. Clair River between Sombra and Marine City MI, but it closed a couple of years ago.

Here is the latest I have for transport services out of Union. It's still a challenge keeping up with bus providers' stop locations and destinations.
Updated the directions to the Bus Terminal from the Travellers' Aid booth in the Great Hall:

Not an early April fools joke, GO Transit is actually connecting Guelph/Waterloo to Hamilton with a direct bus route!

Not a quick ride from KW to Hamilton via downtown Guelph and UG.

But buried in this, is a regular downtown Kitchener to Guelph GO bus service.

Hitting Pearson and Kitchener is a direct attack on ONExBus with 6 to 7x daily on that route.

If VIA won't provide the service then someone else will.

Easy thing to do if you don’t have to negotiate with infrastructure owners and can buy your rolling stock off-the-shelf…

I was curious about the new bus services to Peterborough so I consolidated all of the weekday schedules between Toronto and Ottawa.

Yeah it took me a few reads through to realize that the company is literally called Intercity Bus. I think they have dethroned Book A Ride as the most ineffectively named bus company in Ontario.

Pretty ridiculous how all these separate companies are all chasing the same London-Toronto passengers.
