Parkbus is a brilliant bus service, launched in 2010, that transports people to Algonquin and other provincial parks in Ontario. Making this venture all the more admirable is that Parkbus is a not-for-profit service offered because the founders believe Ontarios parks should be open to more people than just those that have access to cars. Prices are reasonable and by all reports, service is friendly and reliable. Photo of Parkbus passengers disembarking in Algonquin ParkConnect with Jane: Facebook | Twitter
