When we plan a trip to Banff or Lake Louise, once we arrive at the Mont Tunnel campground of Parks Canada, we plan to visit the different tourist attractions with our recreational vehicle. Very often, you have to arrive very early in the morning with the RV, because the parking lots at tourist attractions fill up very quickly.
Did you know that it is possible to get there by public transport? The buses are also equipped with bike racks so you can take your bike on the bus. At the Mont Tunnel 2 campsite, you have a roam transit bus stop and it's free to board. You only pay on the way back, it's only 2 $. This is bus route #2. This bus goes to downtown Banff. Ask the driver for a transfer ticket, because from the city center you can go in different directions. Normally the transfer ticket is free, but it may have exceptions, for example if you are going to Lake Louise, a reservation is required. Prices vary depending on the destination you choose.
You have a total of 10 routes to go in different directions.

You will be able to consult the different routes and bus return and return times.
For our part, we did both. We used the bus service and we also traveled with our RV to some tourist attractions. We greatly appreciated the bus service. When returning during rush hour, some bus delays may occur, but we are on vacation so let's be patient.
