Hampton Reax to Greyhound Cancellations

There is more reaction today over Greyhound Canada's decision to cancel service in northwestern and Manitoba.

Kenora-Rainy River MPP Howard Hampton says the inter-city bus company's move is a bargaining chip.

Hampton says Greyhound is only hurting the dozens of small northwestern Ontario communities that have no train or airplane service.

"Yes, the government got to get the table," says Hampton, "and government's got to put in place so that there's an effective bus service otherwise communities are left high and dry."

Greyhound says it is giving 30 days' notice to cancel service in Manitoba and 90 days' notice to halt service in northwestern Ontario, which will end as of December 2nd.
