Lake O'Hara Transit
Lake O'Hara Transit is a seasonal shuttle service operating in Yoho National Park in British Columbia, Canada. It is operated under contract by Southland Transportation.
Service
This service is seasonal, operating from June to October of each year. In the morning, the shuttle picks up visitors from the Lake O'Hara parking lot located on the Trans Canada Highway in between Lake Louise, AB and Field, BC, and drops off visitors at the lake. The shuttle travels in the reverse direction in the afternoon.
Operations were originally contracted out to First Student Canada, with yellow school buses from the Calgary operations being utilized. Starting with the 2020 season, Southland Transportation was awarded the contract, utilizing white "industrial buses" with A/C and highback seats.
