What public transport options exist between Calgary, Banff, and Jasper?
I and some friends hope to town hop in Alberta in a couple of weeks, and are wondering about our options.
We are considering renting a car, but are also aware Greyhound services these towns. Are there any other options for getting between them - a shuttle perhaps, that we might be able to utilise?
Best Answer
There are apparently buses and trains. Though trains seem to operate only part of the way. Basically from Jasper to Edmonton. When it comes to Calgary I can only find buses (even on Via Rail)
From Jasper to Banff the same Rail Canada refers you to Red Arrow Bus Lines, which for whatever reasons doesn't allow you to book Jasper->Banff trip online.
Of course there is always Greyhound Canada, which offers service to Jasper on Greyhound Express via Edmonton from Calgary or direct to Banff.

Unfortunately, there is no direct train that goes just between Banff and Jasper. However, there are many train options that include the Icefields Parkway in their itinerary but are part of a bigger multi-day route.How do I get from Jasper to Calgary without a car?

Banff is only 150 kilometers from Calgary, and the drive time is less than two hours by car on a divided highway. If you have your own vehicle, this is an easy trip, with no real mountain driving involved.Banff \u0026 Jasper - A beginner's guide to Canadian Rockies
