Greyhound Halts Closures Plans

Greyhound is backing off its threat to stop serving Manitoba and northwestern Ontario -- at least for now.

Two weeks ago, the bus company said it would drop routes in those areas if it didn't get 15-million dollars a year in government subsidies.

Since then Greyhound says it has had positive talks with Manitoba government officials on a short-term solution to the company's financial woes.

Greyhound is also hoping to meet with Ontario government officials in the coming days.

But if no subsidy deal is reached, Greyhound warns that it will proceed with plans to drop service in northwestern Ontario on December 2nd.
