Where can RRTS take me to
RRTS has approximately 30 volunteer drivers that are available to drive you. However, you must pre-book and be confirmed for all trips. Call the office to discuss your personal transportation requirements. Or, if you and a group of 4 or 5 friends would like to go to the theatre or shopping, but don’t want to do the driving, book a Rural Routes van! Destination determines the cost.
Van trips to Kingston are usually planned once a month – if that might interest you, call the Rural Routes office. While you’re chatting with Jane or Theresa, ask them about any bus trips that might be in the works! In the past, bus trips to Canada Blooms, Montreal Botanical Gardens, Toronto Skydome Pow Wow have taken place – who knows what they’ll be up to next!
