Ontario Northland Motor Coach Services is a bus service operating in Ontario by the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission.
Ontario Northland Motor Coach Services operates inter-city bus and parcel service between Toronto (from Toronto Coach Terminal via Yorkdale GO Terminal) and locations in Central and Northern Ontario.
There are two scheduled routes running north and south between Toronto and Hearst; the Highway 11 corridor, through North Bay and Cochrane, and the Highway 69/144 corridor, through Parry Sound, Sudbury and Timmins. [2]
The bus service was suspended when a drivers' strike began on September 29, 2007.[3] The strike left the train as the only public transportation available for many communities; bus service did not resume until December 11, 2007.
