History

Estabished in June 2001 by Dylan Green as an 11 passenger van service transporting backpackers to Pt. Alberni, Ucluelet, and Tofino.
In 2005 Tofino Bus became the school bus operator for Tofino and Ucluelet.
In June 2006 Tofino Bus was contracted by the District of Tofino to operate a local transit service in Tofino.
On October 29, 2006 Tofino Bus became a Greyhound interline carrier on this route.
Expanded to a second intercity route between Victoria and Port Hardy in 2015 after Greyhound discontinued service north of Nanaimo.
In April 2018, Tofino Bus purchased the Duncan Greyhound terminal and began offering additional local stops with the discontinuation of all Greyhound service on Vancouver Island.
Acquired by Wilson's Transportation on November 15, 2018. Tofino Bus will continue to operate as a separate company under the Wilson's banner.^[1]
