By Public Transit

While this is possible, it is certainly not ideal. Public transit is the environmentally-friendly way to go. Unfortunately, public transit in rural areas is difficult to maintain.

York Region Transit (YRT) runs the Mobility On-Request service in the area that picks you up from main bus stops and can take you right to our driveway. But the service is limited to certain days and hours. Call 1-844-667-5327 or download the Mobility On-Request App: Apple App Store or Google Play (Android).

You can get to the Sharon, East Gwillimbury, or to the York Region Transit terminal in Newmarket using GO Transit. (buses and trains) Visit www.GOTransit.ca or call 416.869.3200 (toll-free: 1-888-438-6646)
