The schedule is ideal for an early getaway. Buses depart Toronto Pearson International Airport at 6:50 a.m. and the Union Station Bus Terminal at 7:30 a.m., with additional stops in Scarborough, Whitby, and Oshawa before continuing through Trenton into Prince Edward County.
The route stops in Wellington and Bloomfield before arriving in Picton at 10:50 a.m., giving visitors plenty of time to explore local shops, enjoy brunch, or visit a winery. The return bus departs Picton at 2 p.m., making a day trip possible, though an overnight stay offers more time to experience everything the County has to offer.
The price is just as appealing. One-way fares start at about $37 when booked in advance, making it one of the most affordable ways to reach Prince Edward County. You can sit back, enjoy the scenic ride, and leave the driving behind so everyone can fully enjoy the trip.
Once you’re there, exploring without a car is surprisingly easy. County Transit connects Picton, Bloomfield, and Wellington, while the seasonal Summer Weekend Connector provides access to popular beaches and wineries. Local taxis and rideshares make it easy to get around, so you can enjoy your getaway without needing to drive.
Wine country, beach country, and butter tart country are now just a bus ride away—and for less than the cost of a nice lunch. This new route makes one of Ontario’s favourite summer getaways easier and more affordable than ever.
