If you're looking for comfort and speed, I recommend flying with WestJet or Air Canada, which will provide the fastest service for about $250 CAD. However, if you prefer a road trip experience, driving would allow you to enjoy the scenery and take breaks, costing approximately $120 CAD. For budget travelers, consider the bus option for a cost-effective way to travel at around $85 CAD.
