New bus route from Edmonton to Jasper begins this week

FlixBus is launching a new bus route from Edmonton to Jasper this summer starting on Thursday.

Edmontonians will have another way to get to Jasper this summer.

FlixBus is starting a seasonal route that will leave from the Southgate Transit Centre and the Downtown core’s Jasper Avenue on a given day.

The company says the route will leave once per day round-trip Thursday through Monday starting this week.

Service will be offered during the Canada Day holiday week.

The cost of a one-way ticket online is currently $60.
