History
- Established in 1973 by Mary and Stan Miles, with 4 minibuses.
- In 1978 PTL was awarded the Transport Canada contract to provide a shuttle service between Vancouver International Airport and downtown Vancouver, which was taken over by Charter Bus Lines of British Columbia in 1993.
- In 1980 PTL expanded its charter authority outside British Columbia, and in 1983 received ICC authority to the USA.
- In the late 1980s, PTL was awarded the exclusive right to provide a bus service between Vancouver International Airport and Whistler.
- PTL was purchased by Pacific Western Transportation in 1989.
- Resold to the original owners in 1995.
- PTL formed its own tour company in 1995.
- In 2005, PTL launched a lawsuit against the Vancouver International Airport Authority in an effort to prevent the Authority from revoking its right to operate the YVR-Whistler Express bus service. The service was tendered through an RFP.
- On November 11, 2008, PTL's lawsuit was dismissed, and PTL was ordered to pay the Vancouver International Airport Authority's legal costs as well as the licensing fees it had argued should not apply in the absence of a license with the Authority.
- Later in November of 2008, the Vancouver International Airport Authority ordered PTL to stop operating its YVR-Whistler Express service.
- PTL declared bankruptcy on November 25, 2008, and ceased all operations.
