I'm not an expert on looking up the scheds but I plan on being at the platform taking photos of the buses as the last ones leave. Would you mind telling me what time all the final buses leave on their respective runs from Vancouver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCIBUS Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Sorry for those out west that will loose the Greyhound service, but it'll be interesting to see how many of their coaches end up in Eastern Ontario, places like Ottawa,Toronto,Sudbary,North Bay?

Board Admin A. Wong Posted October 13, 2018 Board Admin Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 This seems to be a good resource for day-of tracking: http://bustracker.greyhound.ca/ You can enter in the departing city, eg. Edmonton is http://bustracker.greyhound.ca/stops/720071/Edmonton_AB/departing But it seems to only go up to the next day about 12 hours in advance. Makes sense since it is supposed to be a live tracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roeco Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 I wonder if the buses and trailers will be Sold. I would think the 4505's should fetch decent $$ I can see an auction happening in the near future of Greyhound assets. I would assume maybe they will transfer some coaches to Ontario. I wonder where the ex First Prevosts will end up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder where the ex First Prevosts will end up? They most likely have a good idea of what's in good shape to keep for the remaining Canadian operations. Those Prevosts and anything else in decent shape will make its way East to Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
