Flixbus adds Gananoque, Ont. as stop to connect Ottawa, Toronto
Flixbus says it will be adding a stop in Gananoque, Ont. starting today, giving residents and visitors of the 1000 Islands region a new way to connect with Toronto, Kingston and Ottawa. As of Aug. 11, passengers will be able to board the low-cost intercity bus service outside the Gananoque Town Hall. The company says there will be four daily trips, two departures and two arrivals. The stop eliminates the need to travel to Kingston, about a 30-minute drive away, to use the bus service. 'The launch of this new stop in Gananoque means easier, affordable travel for town residents heading to Toronto for a weekend trip or to Ottawa for school, and it will make it possible for even more visitors across Ontario, Quebec, and the Northeastern U.S. to experience all the 1000 Islands region has to offer,' said Karina Frayter, head of communications at Flix North America in a news release. 'We're grateful to our partners at the Town of Gananoque, the City of Kingston, and other local stakeholders in the area for helping make this expansion possible.' Flixbus has been expanding its routes across Ontario and Quebec this year. Last spring, the bus service began to operate a route connecting the Toronto suburbs, including Vaughn, Richmond Hill and Markham along with Pearson Airport.

FlixBus to operate new route linking Ottawa with Toronto suburbs
Ottawa residents will soon have a direct, low-cost way to get to the outer suburbs of Toronto. 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.
