On-It regional transit service will begin on May 17, 2024

Calgarians commuting to Banff or Canmore will soon be able to use On-It Regional Transit, which resumes operations next month.

The regular flight ended its seasonal service in October, but will resume on May 17.

This year, the shuttle will include direct access to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake.

Return service to and from Lake Louise runs from June 14th to September 2nd, and return service to and from Lake Moraine runs from September 6th to October 14th.

On-It usage rates will rise this year, the first increase since the service launched in 2017.

Adults (16-64) using the Calgary to Canmore/Banff service will now pay $10 to $12.50 each way.

Rates for children (5-15) and seniors (65+) remain the same; $10 each way.

Children under the age of four still travel for free, but a seat must be reserved if necessary.

Fares from Calgary to Lake Louise are $17.50 each way for adults, $12.50 each way for children and $12.50 each way for seniors.

“On-Bu is truly the best way to experience Banff National Park,” spokesman Jonathan Weale said in a Friday news release.

“Planning your trip in advance, especially with local transportation options, is critical to making the most of your time in the park.”
