Sioux Lookout calls itself the Hub of the North, but the 400-kilometre drive from Thunder Bay can sometimes present barriers for people looking to get to and from the town.
That's where Kasper Mini-Bus comes in.
The newly purchased bus line runs a daily route from Thunder Bay to Sioux Lookout, with stops in Ignace and Upsala.
Complete with free Wi-Fi and a GPS tracking system, the 16 passenger bus is drawing a steady crowd every day.
From Monday to Friday, the bus departs from Thunder Bay at 9:30 a.m., and arrives in Sioux Lookout at 1:30 p.m. Central Time.
From there it picks up new passengers at 2 p.m. and arrives back in Thunder Bay around 7:30 p.m.
General Manager of the bus line, Kristian Kuznak, says the service is an important one.
The bus line owns two new Mercedes Sprinter buses, and is looking to add more routes in Northwestern Ontario in the future.
