This just in! Getting to Vancouver just got easier for more Island residents. 🚌
IslandLink has launched a new bus connection timed with Hullo ferry sailings, linking Campbell River, Courtenay and Parksville with the Hullo terminal in Nanaimo.
One daily route heads south in time for Hullo’s 11am sailing to Vancouver, while another leaves the terminal at 11am to connect arriving passengers with communities farther north.
One-way bus fares start at $44. The companies are also exploring future connections to Victoria, the Cowichan Valley, Port Alberni and Tofino.
