Talk about the times changing, Greyhound Bus Lines is shutting down their passenger and freight operations up here in Western Canada when October rolls around.
Most of us here on the YT forum likely have more than one story of a bus ride on Greyhound (for better or worse). Either way, a lot of people without their own
vehicle for one reason or another are going to be affected and it's a bit of a sad story when you think of it. I guess business is business and I'm sure they
are struggling in other places as well. Here's a quick bit of Greyhound history from Wikipedia ....
"Greyhound Lines, Inc., usually shortened to Greyhound, is an intercity bus common carrier serving over 3,800 destinations across North America. The company's
first route began in Hibbing, Minnesota in 1914, and the company adopted the Greyhound name in 1929. Since October 2007, Greyhound has been a subsidiary of
British transportation company FirstGroup, but continues to be based in Dallas, Texas, where it has been headquartered since 1987. Greyhound and sister
companies in FirstGroup America are the largest motorcoach operators in the United States and Canada."
