Travel Tips for Lake Louise Locals

As a Lake Louise resident, taking public transit during the busy summer months can be frustrating with buses filling up quickly. To enjoy a smoother, more stress-free ride, we recommend planning ahead and traveling during off-peak hours whenever possible.
Consider traveling during off-peak hours, which are:
- Lake Louise to Banff: Departures between 7:05 a.m. – 1:52 p.m.
- Banff to Lake Louise: Departures between 4:02 p.m. – 10:37 p.m.
By choosing off-peak times, you’ll enjoy a more comfortable ride with fewer crowds and faster boarding. Stay on schedule and avoid delays by checking departure times in advance.
Looking to reserve your seat? Visit our reservations page for details. If you work in Lake Louise but live elsewhere, consider getting a commuter reservation for added convenience.
