Beginning on July 8, there will be a new way to travel between Montreal and Ottawa. Orléans Express will help fill the void left by Greyhound after the inter-city bus operator discontinued service in Canada back in May. 

Orléans Express announced that it's adding a daily connection linking Montreal, Gatineau and Ottawa starting on Thursday. According to the website, there will also be stops in Kirkland.
