Greyhound Canada, registered as Greyhound Canada Transportation Corp., provides intercity bus service throughout Canada. Greyhound has bought other smaller companies over the years. Some currently operate as subsidiaries such as Voyageur, Grey Goose, and PMCL. Others have simply been folded into Greyhound.
History
Incorporated as Greyhound Lines of Canada in 1957, the company united Western Canadian Greyhound Lines and Eastern Canadian Greyhound Lines which were Canadian subsidiaries of Greyhound Corporation.[1]
In 1965, Greyhound purchased Brewster Transport, and in 1970, Greyhound purchased Canadian Coachways. Over two decades later, Greyhound would acquire other bus companies.[1] 1992 saw the purchase of Gray Coach Lines from Stagecoach Group, and Grey Goose Bus Lines became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Laidlaw International, Inc. which integrated its Manitoba/N.W. Ontario operations with Greyhound Canada. In 1997, Greyhound purchased Voyageur Colonial Bus Lines after having purchased Ottawa and Toronto routes from the company four years prior.[1]
In 1996, two companies, Brewster and Greyhound Canada Transportation Corp. (GCTC), were formed following a restructuring or Greyhound Lines of Canada.[1] In 1997, Greyhound was purchased by Laidlaw Transportation Inc., which was then purchased by FirstGroup in 2007.
On September 3, 2009, Greyhound Canada announced that they provided notice to the Manitoba Highway Traffic Board and Ontario Highway Traffic Board that they would be ceasing operations in Manitoba and northwestern Ontario. Greyhound Canada cited major financial losses due mainly to existing government inter-city bus legislation and regulations as the reason for the termination of these services.[2] Northwestern Ontario services will cease as of December 2, 2009, with Manitoba services ceasing in October 2009.[2]
In October 2009, due to a promise of Manitoba government subsidies, Greyhound backed off its threat to pull its buses out of the province.[3] In December 2009, Greyhound announced that they would keep bus service in northern Ontario, but reduce the numbers of trips made. Effective January 17, 2009, several daily trips were cut and other routes saw an end to Sunday bus service.
Greyhound Express service was launched in Alberta on November 14, 2011 following the deregulation of the motorcoach industry in the province. Fares are offered as low as $1 on Express corridors, and they offer perks such as newer (refurbished) buses with leatherette seating, electrical outlets, WiFi, and reserved seating[4]. Greyhound Express was expanded to the Toronto-London-Windsor-Detroit-Chicago corridor in November 2012 as well as the Vancouver-Whistler and Vancouver-Kamloops corridors on March 21, 2013.
On July 9, 2018, Greyhound announced that they would be ending service in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and northern Ontario. The route between Vancouver and Seattle, operated by Greyhound USA, would remain. According to Greyhound Canada, bus service in rural parts of the country, and the west in particular, were no longer sustainable. Greyhound blamed declining ridership on competition with subsidized carriers, low-cost airlines, regulatory constraints, and growing car ownership. The cancellation occurred on October 31, 2018.[5]
