A new bus service is going to connect the people of London to Sarnia and a few places in-between.
The intercommunity transit service will run by the London-based company Voyago and feature daily round trips from the southern Ontario city to Strathroy-Caradoc and then Sarnia.
“Improving transportation, specifically getting people to and from work quickly and conveniently, has been an area of intense focus during my term as mayor. This focus is not only local, it is also regional,” said London Mayor Ed Holder.
Holder said the program will be completely funded by the government of Ontario through the Ontario Community Transportation Grant program until March 2023.

Service is expected to start in April 2020, with three daily round-trips during the week, and two round-trips on weekends.
