Ontario Northland Transportation Commission transported more than 4,500 passengers on its motor coaches during the Thanksgiving weekend.
In an Oct. 21 release, the North Bay-headquartered Crown agency reported some new additions to its fleet of 25 motor coaches paid huge dividends between Oct 8 and 12, the busiest travel weekend for motor coach services.
“The investment of eight new coaches over the past year allows us to provide reliable, high quality transportation services,” said Corina Moore, Ontario Northland president-CEO in a statement. “I am extremely proud to see our new equipment in use, serving the residents of Northern Ontario.”
“Our new ticketing system provided real time business intelligence, allowing us to respond to passenger demand quickly by adding three more buses on our Sudbury to Toronto trip on Friday, ” added Tracy MacPhee, director of passenger services. “Thank you to our employees for ensuring a smooth operation on this busy weekend and thanks to our passengers for choosing Ontario Northland.”
Ontario Northland has a fleet of 25 motor coaches, including three new buses that were added this past month. Ontario Northland buses travel 3.5 million kilometers per year, providing transportation to over 275,000 passengers.
