ns8401 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Greyhound is proposing service from Hartford, CT to Providence, RI using Federal 5311F rural transit funding. One route would be 7 days a week and run Hartford-Colchester-Norwich-Plainfield-Providence and the other would run 5 days a week Hartford-Willamantic-Storrs-Brooklyn-Providence. The Service has been dormant for 8 years. https://www.norwichbulletin.com/news/20190306/greyhound-looking-to-run-service-through-eastern-connecticut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapidbus Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 ** SCHEDULE CHANGE - EFFECTIVE: SUNDAY, JUNE 23RD, 2019 ** Please note Greyhound Canada will be re-routing service via Ottawa, ON and Syracuse NY. Direct city pair service via Brockville, ON will no longer be available. Passengers will have several daily options available to them via Toronto, ON and Montreal, QC to travel between Ottawa, ON and Syracuse, NY. Complete details are available by visiting our websites at www.greyhound.ca and www.greyhound.com Such a shame direct Syracuse service is gone. Seems like Greyhound is really going downhill quick. We need deregulation in Ontario now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Ottawa-Syracuse run is nearly useless as it is... one round trip two days a week, operating in the early morning hours. 2:30am is not the best time to operate if you are looking for passengers...

In a transit world yes... in the intercity world it’s always 230am somewhere... there are a lot of places that wouldn’t have service if they didn’t come in the middle of the night. The two days a week thing is what would kill it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The early morning time on that run, is a legacy of when the bus ran thru to/from New York City (a GLC/ADT pool). It was very popular for the thru passenger's between New York and Ottawa, and was not intended to cater to local passenger's. Unfortunately, the buses no longer go thru, but the connection is still faster between the endpoints, than the alternate route via Montreal...
