Partners behind the #Ferniestoke Shuttle

The shuttle program is funded by tourism dollars and is a partnership between Tourism Fernie, Tunnel49 and the City of Fernie. 

The shuttle buses are the same ones used for the winter service, which are owned by the City of Fernie and were purchased in 2022 through tourism funding from the provincial Resort Municipality Initiative. This summer pilot project is operationally paid for by Tourism Fernie who has contracted Tunnel49 to operate the scheduled service this summer.
