Summer Beach Bus

Summer Beach Bus run has ended for the 2024 season! 

Pre-book & Pay for your ride!

The Summer Beach Bus runs on Saturdays and Sundays only, from the first Saturday in July to the last Sunday of the summer (i.e. Labour Day Long Weekend).

The bus travels between London Transit bus stop #705 and Sobeys Plaza, Grand Bend. London Transit bus stop #705 is located on the NORTH SIDE of Fanshawe Road East, just west of North Centre Road, near the RBC.

The Summer Beach Bus is always in high demand. We strongly recommend passengers book and pay for their seat(s) to ensure a trip home. Not everyone can fit on the last bus of the day!

  1. Click the Book Your Ride Now button below.
  2. Pick the date and time of your ride to the beach and back home. Sold out trips do not display.
  3. Pay with a debit or credit card.
  4. Show your e-ticket or printed copy to the driver for scanning.

Important Note: Because passengers can book a return ticket to guarantee a return trip home, the “Stranded Passenger” policy does not apply on Route 2 on Saturdays and Sundays in July and August.
