New direct bus services are starting from Calgary to the popular tourist attractions of Drumheller. FlixBus will start service on this route starting May 14. This will help tourists easily reach the city of Drumheller and the Royal Tyrrell Museum without their own vehicle. This new transportation facility has been provided in collaboration with Travel Alberta as part of strengthening the tourism sector in Alberta.
In addition to the main bus service, a free shuttle service called ‘Valley Connect’ will also be launched in the Drumheller region starting June 26. This shuttle service, which connects major attractions such as the Drumheller Hoodoos and the Atlas Coal Mine National Historic Site, will provide tourists with the opportunity to enjoy the sights of the area more easily. Tourism revenue in the region is expected to increase significantly over the next ten years. The new move is part of bigger plans to support local businesses and turn Drumheller into a year-round tourist destination.
