Greyhound cancels routes in Saskatchewan
Some people including the visually impaired and those who don’t drive, are scrambling to figure out what to do after reports Monday that Greyhound Bus is cancelling routes across western Canada.
The company said Monday that it is cancelling routes on passenger and freight routes in Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba, and all but one route in British Columbia. While regrettable, the company says the routes are no longer sustainable, mainly due to low ridership.
Around Prince Albert, the news was still trickling in Monday afternoon. Many in communities around Prince Albert said Greyhound bus service simply wasn’t used much anymore, although the loss of the service as a travel option is still unfortunate.
Wendell Gress is the owner/operator of the Wakaw Inn and used to run the delivery depot for STC as well before that service was cut by the provincial government.
