Pacific Western Transportation (Toronto)

USDOT#	MC/MX #	Full Legal Name
972455	MC-221774	P W Transportation Ltd.

Pacific Western Transportation is a Canadian bus company specializing in the tour and charter coach market.

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.
