Does anyone know any trolly contacts they can recommend to us? We'd love to look into hiring one for Barkham Festival 2027 next year to bring people travelling in to the Metrolinx GO station directly to Markham Museum!

DM us, or tag them in the comments!

Do you think this would be cool at a future event? Would you take transit into the event if this shuttle service was offered for free?
