The Bus

Sunday mornings, our chartered bus picks up people at our designated locations starting from downtown Toronto.   We arrive at our trail system between 9:30-10:00 as groups are dropped off at various points along our trail system.  In January, we depart at 4:00 p.m.  February and March, our departures are at 4:30 p.m.  One can expect to be back in downtown Toronto between 6-7 pm.

Bus Pick-Up Schedule

 Location  Departs
 Yonge & Yorkville *(north side by Town Hall Square)  7:15 a.m.
 Yonge & Eglinton  (at Broadway)  7:30 a.m.
 Yonge & York Mills  7:45 a.m.
 Hwy. 400 & Major Mac  8:10 a.m.(approx.)

Not all stops are available each week as it is dependent on where the bus will be travelling and whether a member has requested a pick-up at that location.

Because of the nature of our small groups tailored to people's abilities, a group's route may be one-way, start/end at different locations.  The bus drops off and picks up groups at multiple places anywhere along a roadway with no parking nearby on a given day.  Pick-up locations can change mid-day due to a group's progress .  These are the only stops available. 

***IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO MEET THE BUS AT TRAIL HEADS OR FURTHER NORTH. ***
