To my knowledge, there are NO consessions made farewise for blind
travellers and their guides. As was mentioned earlier, a
blind person and guide can use intercity buses with a consession fare.
Basically, the two ride for one fare. I'm not sure about the VIA routes.
I have travelled on both of CAnada's major air carriers and don't recall any
special fare previsions. AIRLINES want to make as much money from
as many people as possible, in my opinion.
