Is there an alternative way of traveling to Parry Sound from Toronto?
Yes, Ontario Northland runs a service from downtown Toronto to Yorkdale mall (accessible by city bus directly from Pearson (YYZ) airport) three times a day with a one-way cost of about $55 (inc tax) one way. http://www.canbic.ca/cgi-bin/ViewPage.cgi?page=transportation The coach returns to Yorkdale (for the airport) and downtown Toronto 3 times a day (Mon-Sun) departing near the Comfort Inn motel in Parry Sound.
