Greyhound Update

Greyhound Canada is announcing a series of service reductions to its passenger bus service in Ontario.

It says service along the Trans Canada highway will be preserved for now, but there will be frequency reductions.

The changes go into effect as of January 17.

In a release, Greyhound senior vice-president Stuart Kendrick says the company has indicated for months it could no longer sustain current financial losses without making adjustments to its existing operations.

He says the cuts are designed to relieve some of that financial pressure pending the outcome of the federal-provincial-territorial working group which is due to report in September 2010.

Some routes, including those in Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury andToronto will see one of their daily trips cut while the Sunday service will be cut from some routes.

Service between Thunder Bay and Winnipeg routes will remains as scheduled.
