Greyhound has just announced that it will no longer serve Western Canada
- apart from the Seattle - Vancouver route that is operated by the US arm.
Of course there are protests as some people in rural areas depend on it
from time to time. However, I've seen it coming as I have used the
freight service for 30 years and have seen the gradual drop in ridership
and the concomitant scheduling.
