Calgarians traveling to Banff or Canmore will soon have the option of using On-It Regional Transit, which resumes operations next month.
The cost-effective shuttle service ended its seasonal service in October, but will start again on May 17.
This year, the shuttle will include direct service to Lake Louise and Lake Moraine.
Service to and from Lake Louise runs from June 14 to September 2, while service to and from Moraine Lake runs from September 6 to October 14.
Prices to use On-It will increase this year, the first increase since the service was launched in 2017.
Adults (16-64) using the Calgary to Canmore/Banff service will now pay $12.50 each way, up from $10.
Ticket prices for children (5-15) and seniors (65+) will remain the same; $10 each way.
Children under the age of four still travel for free, but must reserve a seat if necessary.
Fares from Calgary to Lake Louise will be $17.50 each way for adults, $12.50 each way for children and $12.50 each way for seniors.
“On-It really is the best way to see Banff National Park,” spokesman Jonathan Weal said in a news release Friday.
“Planning your visit ahead of time, especially local transport options, is essential to get the most out of your time in the park.”
