About Tisdale Bus Lines
Northern Ontario's motorcoach operator since 1965


Established in 1965 by Joe Adamo, Tisdale Bus Lines has served Northern Ontario for over 61 years. What began as a small operation has grown into a motorcoach and charter service serving communities across the region.
The fleet got bigger and the staff list got longer. The way we work did not change: safely, on time, with care for every passenger.
Today the fleet numbers 35+ vehicles: 56-passenger MCI J4500 motorcoaches and 24-passenger Blue Bird mini-buses. Those vehicles carry mining crews to remote work sites, sports teams to competitions, students on school trips, and wedding parties across the region.
A team of 90+ drivers and support staff runs the fleet from bases in South Porcupine, Sudbury, and North Bay. Three bases across the region keep our coaches close to where your trip starts.
We take part in the communities we serve. Tisdale Bus Lines is a member of the Timmins Chamber of Commerce and a corporate member of MineConnect, Northern Ontario's mining supply and services association. We also partner with Northern College.
We have donated coach buses to local non-profits, including Yo Mobile, which provides transportation services to community members in the Timmins area.
