WINNIPEG — Greyhound Canada has decided to cancel its inter-city bus service in Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario, effective 30 days from today.
The company said the "very difficult" decision was based on oppressive legislative and regulatory regimes by both the provincial and federal governments.
"Our financial situation is dire and we are no longer in a position to absorb losses that are almost solely attributable to government policies," said Stuart Kendrick, the company's senior vice-president.
The company is providing 30 days notice to the Manitoba Highway Traffic Board, so that all passenger tickets sold here to date will be honoured.
Greyhound is the largest provider of inter-city bus transportation in Canada, serving 700 communities and offering 1,000 daily departures across the country.
The Free Press has calls into the company and also the union representing Greyhound workers, and will provide more details as they become available.
