'''Pacific Western Transportation''' is a Canadian bus company specializing in the tour and charter coach market | '''Pacific Western Transportation''' is a Canadian bus company specializing in the tour and charter coach market as well as operating line runs under the [[Red Arrow Motorcoach|Red Arrow]] brand | ||
==History== | |||
== | Pacific Western operated the Airport Express, a premium coach service between [[Toronto Pearson International Airport|Toronto Pearson Airport]] and various hotels in Downtown Toronto. Service was discontinued on October 31, 2014, owing to decreased ridership and anticipated competition from the [[Union Pearson Express]]. | ||
In 2020, as a result of the [[Transportation-related agency responses to COVID-19 pandemic|COVID-19 pandemic]], Pacific Western decided to permanently exit the Toronto charter coach market. The majority of the fleet was transferred to other Pacific Western subsidiaries, and their yard in Mississauga was sold. | |||
In late 2022, Pacific Western announced that [[Red Arrow Motorcoach]] service will be introduced in Ontario with daily service between Toronto and Ottawa. As a result, space was leased from [[Attridge Transportation]] in Etobicoke to park and service the buses. A trailer is located on site that houses the office space for [[Red Arrow Motorcoach|Red Arrow's]] Ontario operations. | |||

Pacific Western Transportation is a Canadian bus company specializing in the tour and charter coach market as well as operating line runs under the Red Arrow brand
History
Pacific Western operated the Airport Express, a premium coach service between Toronto Pearson Airport and various hotels in Downtown Toronto. Service was discontinued on October 31, 2014, owing to decreased ridership and anticipated competition from the Union Pearson Express. In 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pacific Western decided to permanently exit the Toronto charter coach market. The majority of the fleet was transferred to other Pacific Western subsidiaries, and their yard in Mississauga was sold. In late 2022, Pacific Western announced that Red Arrow Motorcoach service will be introduced in Ontario with daily service between Toronto and Ottawa. As a result, space was leased from Attridge Transportation in Etobicoke to park and service the buses. A trailer is located on site that houses the office space for Red Arrow's Ontario operations.
