FlixBus to operate new route linking Ottawa with Toronto suburbs
Starting May 29, the intercity bus service will operate a route connecting downtown Toronto, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, Kingston with Ottawa.
Key stops along the route include Toronto Pearson Airport, Pioneer Village Terminal, Richmond Hill Centre, the Cornell GO Bus terminal and Ottawa's Via Rail terminal, FlixBus says.
The service will offer connections with York Region Transit, Peel Region Transit and the TTC.
'This is a major step forward for intercity travel in Ontario,' said Karina Frayter, head of communications for Flix North America in a news release.
'Until now, residents in these fast-growing suburbs had limited options to reach Ottawa without first traveling into downtown Toronto. We're proud to fill that gap and give more Ontarians access to affordable, convenient and dependable long-distance transportation.'
The new service will operate seven days a week with twice-daily departures on most days, and once-daily service on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
FlixBus already offers routes linking Ottawa with downtown Toronto, London, Niagara Falls, Windsor and Detroit, Michigan.

Canfor fined $489K after worker injured in B.C. mill
View of downtown Prince George is seen from L.C. Gunn Park in this photo shared by the city on Dec. 1, 2023. (City of Prince George/Facebook) The operators of a pulp and paper mill in northern British Columbia have been fined nearly half a million dollars by the provincial workplace safety regulator after an employee was injured on the job. WorkSafeBC says its investigators visited a Canfor Pulp Ltd. mill site in Prince George after a worker was injured when an 'unguarded cylinder activated on a hydraulic pumping system.' The inspectors determined the company failed to ensure the machinery was fitted with proper safeguards to protect its workers from injury, the regulator said in a summary of the incident published online. The agency ordered Canfor Pulp Ltd. to pay a penalty of $489,104.10, describing the incident as a 'high-risk violation.' WorkSafeBC says its monetary penalties are calculated primarily based on the employer's total payroll, while also considering the nature of the violation and the company's history of prior infractions, if any. 'The primary purpose of an administrative penalty is to motivate the employer receiving the penalty — and other employers — to comply with occupational health and safety legislation and regulation, and to keep their workplaces safe,' the agency says. Canfor, which operates three pulp and paper mills and one sawmill in Prince George, did not respond to a request for comment on the incident or the fine on Tuesday.
