Islandlink has restarted daily bus service between Port Alberni, Ucluelet and Tofino and dropped fares to $5.
B次元官网网址淲e were forced to suspend service on June 8 due to the Cameron Lake fire road closure, cutting off Nanaimo, but now realize the people on the Coast also require local services,B次元官网网址� said IslandLink and Tofino Express Bus owner Phillip Morgan in a June 13 announcement. B次元官网网址淔or them, the closure has gone on too long already, so today we have re-started those services.B次元官网网址�
