Because the parks are the easy part. Getting to them is what stops most people.
Parkbus is an official partner of VIA Rail and Parks Canada, helping keep car-free trips to Canada's parks and wild places genuinely affordable.
We pick you up at a downtown stop, drive you into the park, and bring you back. You need a daypack and a seat, not a licence.
We have been running buses to Canada’s parks since 2010. We know which trail fills up first and where the bus can actually stop.
Our trips carry a mix of solo travellers, couples and small groups. It is one of the easier ways to spend a day with people who would rather be outside.
Plan ahead

I have always had excellent experiences with Parkbus. I have been to many of their destinations, and I have thoroughly enjoyed myself. The ambassadors have been knowledgeable and friendly. The drivers drive safely, and with the passengers’ comfort in mind.Sharlene Haye · Google

Sixteen years of write-ups from people we have never paid a cent.
Factor in the cost of gas, parking and renting a car, it's a lot cheaper than taking a personal vehicle.Toronto Star
