Welcome to the HORNBY BUS

If you are tech savvy, the bus schedule is loaded onto Google Maps:  Transit.  This is not a "live" feed due to lack of cell coverage.  But it does show where the bus is for the pre-loaded bus schedule.

During July and August, from 8:35 a.m. to  7:35 p.m. , you can catch the Hornby Bus.  

Moving people, not cars is our motto.

In order to enhance understanding of the schedule, for those not as familiar with Island road names, the schedule is now defined by 3 routes.  With the "Dickie Dugout" at the Coop corner as the centre of the hub.

Due to feedback, the bus will re-establish two way service into the Galleon Beach subdivision.  Please check the schedule for Route 2 for timing.

Denman has the ScuttleBus, and who rides it?  ScuttleButts of course.  For a fun  tour of Denman or a scenic ride between ferries, check it out!  

BE AWARE:  The ScuttleBus is "dark" on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so don't go looking for a ride then.

It will be redeemable for a free cookie at Hornby Island Bakery & Pizzeria.
