P.A. to Saskatoon bus service not dead as company pulls out
The machinations of the free market and one company’s rejection of the city’s business licensing regulations may yet spell good news for Prince Albert passengers in need of a reliable bus service to Saskatoon.
As Rider Express Transportation gets set to end its daily return service tomorrow, a new operator looks to take some advantage.
Aurora Charter Service started its offerings from P.A. last month and, given the news about Rider Express, now expects that to result in a surge in customers.
“Yes it would, if they are pulling out,” owner Victor Hoosein told paNOW on learning that Rider Express was ending its service. While his 15-seater buses currently head to Saskatoon three days a week and come back to P.A. on the other two days, he said things might expand soon. He also offers a service to La Ronge.
