St. Thomas can now boast of a direct bus service to Toronto, although on a limited basis to start with.
FlixBus has expanded its service to include St. Thomas in its southwestern Ontario network.
Jonas Pearce with FlixBus talks about the new service.
A bus leaves Toronto daily at 1 p.m., arriving in St. Thomas at 4:40 p.m. The return trip to Toronto leaves at 5:40 p.m. with stops in London, Hamilton and the Union Station bus terminal.
FlixBus provides services in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with almost 2,300 destinations across its network.
Pearce notes the bus will be provided by Gallexy Tours in Toronto, but clearly marked as a FlixBus service.
The bus will pick up and drop off at the Wimpy’s Diner parking lot at 960 Talbot Street.
Pearce adds, once in Toronto, customers can link up with other services operated by FlixBus.
FlixBus has also increased the number of daily connections between London and Toronto from eight to 12 roundtrips daily, with added stops in Ingersoll and Woodstock.
Fares between St. Thomas and Toronto Union Station start at $22.49 one way, depending how far in advance you book your ticket.
