Most of the the added service is on London-Toronto (Table 740) and Kitchener Toronto (Table 743). Buffalo-Toronto has one trip to Pearson, on one of the local runs. It adds between 10-15 minutes of travel time depending on the exact schedule. I guess this means Greyhound will have to manage a subfleet with GTAA plates? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart move in Greyhound's part if they can price it right and the times , going after the shared van service shuttle clients. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at Miway, GO, TTC, Brampton Transit, none operate a specified fleet to serve Pearson (except 192). Aren't GTAA plates specifically for vehicles that enter the airfield/apron area?

IRT_BMT_IND Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Greyhound is also starting a new shuttle service, Table 794 between Pearson, Yorkdale, and Scarborough Town Centre. I guess to connect with the TCH/Peterborough/Ottawa services. It even seems they sell tickets for local travel on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 I don't think coach Canada and PW have special plates but they do have stickers on the window. I guess this is part of the plan to make Pearson a Transportation hub. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 They only have one round trip to STC for $13.90 return. Does the just do this route or is it an extension of another trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen so many crazy, convoluted routes emanating from the Greyhound res system that just make you shake your head in wonder... It seems that whoever programs their system is only interested in making a sale, no matter how ridiculous the routing is. If there is a short easy way to go from A to B, but does not involve Greyhound or its affiliates that Greyhound can sell, the system will not mention that, but will instead seek out a roundabout way it can sell you a ticket there...

roeco Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Greyhound Canada has suspended all service from Golden to Sicamous due to Hwy 1 closure until at least Sunday. I would assume all passengers will be routed via Hwy 3 or Edmonton and Hwy 16/5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also how Greyhound wanted Peter Pan to use its own ticketing system when Greyhound knew it could not track Peter Pan sales on it to properly paid them the correct commissions. Oh so that's why the trailway buses aren't coming into Toronto anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been hearing from different sources in the States that Greyhound owes Peter Pan money and that Peter Pan is looking at pulling out of the partnership with Greyhound. Also heard from one those sources that New York Trailways wants to pull out of its partnership with Greyhound. Well this should come at no surprise.

C2045 Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Greyhound bus route on B.C.'s Highway of Tears one of five that could be axed Quote VANCOUVER — Greyhound Canada has applied to regulators in British Columbia to drop five routes, four of them in northern B.C., as the company deals with plunging ridership. Greyhound calls the decision “regrettably unavoidable” but said there has been a 51 per cent drop in riders since 2010, along with higher costs and increased competition from publicly subsidized services. Routes that would be eliminated include a 718-kilometre run along Highway 16, the so-called Highway of Tears, between Prince George and Prince Rupert. After dozens of murders and disappearances of women along that highway, the province, local governments and BC Transit launched a subsidized route in June connecting Burns Lake, Prince George and Smithers, mirroring portions of the Greyhound route. The company has also applied to drop its routes from Prince George to Valemount, Prince George to Dawson Creek, Dawson Creek to Whitehorse and Victoria to Nanaimo. http://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/greyhound-bus-route-on-b-c-s-highway-of-tears-one-of-five-that-could-be-axed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By default if your a carrier on a route then you are that until you shut down or pawn it off to someone else...! Greyhound should get their approval on Vancouver Island without an issue as Tofino bus will def take it over as they already compete with GReyhound on that corridor..! Hwy 16 is another story....Their is demand for an intercity bus company maybe not on a daily basis, but 3-4 days a week is quite sufficent!
