Many in Prince Edward Island don’t have a way to get to the beach. This is true of school children whose parents may be busy working or have no car at all.

I am so pleased to know that many Islanders can now go to the beach for very little money. Did you know that school kids of all grades can go completely free, and others can go for $2?
An additional benefit of this new service is that many seasonal workers — many who are younger and may not have access to their own vehicle— can get to their place of employment more easily and for a lot less money than driving a car.
