Roam - Banff Transit

Bow Valley Regional Transit Services Commission (Roam), rebranded from Banff Transit in 2008, serves Banff, Canmore, and Lake Louise in central Alberta. Each bus in the fleet is wrapped in artwork featuring a selection of local wildlife. These wraps originally acted as identification in place of fleet numbers, however all units have since had fleet numbers added.
