B.C. man takes public transit all the way to Mexico

William Hoy did nothing wrong. He made his own rules and then carefully planned his route so that he could go all the way to Tijuana without flying or using Greyhound and Amtrak.

At the end of June, he did just that, traveling from Vancouver to Mexico using only public transportation.

"People who know me know I'm crazy," Hoey said. It is surprising. "A lot of people say, 'What have you done?'"

A Trainlink employee, Hui admits to loving public transport. So, for nine days and almost 2,000 miles, he shuttled between buses and trains and made his way to Southern California and beyond.

"One of the things I enjoyed doing was just looking out the window and watching the scenery go by," he told CTV News. "Whether it's the Oregon coast or the giant redwoods in Northern California."

His trip was not to save money. In fact, he estimated that the shipping costs totaled around US$200.
