canuck600 Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 http://www.timescolonist.com/business/list-of-52-bus-companies-that-federal-regulators-shut-down-for-safety-reasons-1.756406 Forest Transportation of Parksville is on list which means they are no longer able to operate in the states. Haven't done any research to see if they have been shut down in Canada as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airwolf Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I have my doubts that they've been shut down in Canada as yet. I saw two of their coaches on the Coq. last week, and not more than a month ago I had a chat with one of their drivers in Cache Creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck600 Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Wonder if they will work to get their U.S operating authority back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc.theriault Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Note that it's a US DOT ruling not Transport Canada so the Canadian company can continue operating north of the US border without issue until a TC order is ever issued. Canadian operators need to make sure US DOT jurisdiction ends at the border and not allow that office to bully Canadian lawmakers. Of course the decision does affect their group tours: http://www.forestbustours.com/tours.php unless they charter coaches from another carrier.

Megabus Rider Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Kind of what happened with AVM Max 2000, they are not allowed to operate in the US but can operate in Canada. US Jurisdiction: US DOT did not issue the operating Authority when they made their filings. Transport Canada and the MTO did not do anything about AVM operating in Canada.
