Parkbus

Parkbus is a Canadian not-for-profit organization that provides bus transportation from major cities to nearby parks and conservation areas. Its purpose is to enable citizens to access nature and the outdoors without owning a car.

Parkbus started in 2010 as a private initiative developed by a group of outdoor enthusiasts. A pilot project route between Toronto and Algonquin Provincial Park began in 2010. Since then, Parkbus has become a project within Ontario not-for-profit organization Transportation Options, which works to provide sustainable tourism and transportation in the province of Ontario.

Parkbus operates one-day, overnight, guided overnight, and seasonal routes departing from Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa and Halifax.
