Greyhound Canada to end bus service

[240glt]

I don't think anyone begrudges Greyhound for pulling out of Western Canada, but it's silly and totally impractical to tell everyone in remote areas formerly served by the bus line to move to larger centres. There are hundreds of remote communities throughout BC that need to be there for industry, tourism, local economies and because many of the people who live there actually want to be there. Many more can't afford to move. The best thing to do would be to either incent a local operator to replace the service or vastly expand regional transit systems already in place to ensure that the folks in small towns and remote communities can still get to the places they need to get to.
