You do know that BYD is building its North American buses in North America with mostly North American parts and employing North Americans. You sound like an idiot with that statement. Also you are forgetting the Nova electric bus.

Im thinking they will just let companies fill the coach but everyone has to wear a face covering , Just like that USA airline industry is pushing for.

4408 was in CN's Mac Yard yesterday

With Covid, we should expect reduced capital funds from Ottawa and Queen's Park which will delay a lot of capital projects. I would not be surprised if the next sign contracts for orders gets pushed back due to this.

I would expect the Canadian system to be sold as a whole as if it was closed down then each company would have to apply for each route with no guarantee that they would get the routes that they want.

Its long gone from Air Canada

I would be thinking Bigger, Pacific Western, Coach Canada, Keolis or Transdev wanting to purchase it.

Really you keep going on and on about the same BS in all these different threads. Enough we get that you do not like BYD and CRRC. No need to be all kybosh about it

I still think someone would want to buy the remaining Canadian system. If you let it go bankrupt then try to bid on the license for each route , its not guarantee you would get the licence as it may go to another party. There are a few companies that the Canadian system would fit perfect into but im not gonna name.

I am sure they will have to increase the runs as Greyhound used to run twice daily. I can see them within the next two years having to get it up to daily.
