In March 2021, Greyhound Canada permanently suspended operation in all of Canada, with the exceptions of the following cross-border routes, operated by Greyhound Lines (USA). In October 2021, FlixBus announced the acquisition of Greyhound, including Greyhound Canada.
Why did Greyhound shut down in Canada?
On Thursday, Greyhound Canada announced it was permanently shutting down all of its remaining bus routes in Canada after a year of suspended service because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Did Greyhound leave Canada?
Given that Greyhound had already suspended operations for about a year because of the pandemic, its announcement on Thursday that it was permanently ending all of its remaining bus service in Canada was almost symbolic.
Why did Greyhound leave Western Canada?
Greyhound's Canadian operations had been under pressure even before the pandemic arrived, with Greyhound ceasing operations in western Canada in 2018 as a result of declining ridership.
Who took over Greyhound Canada?
FlixBus, an intercity travel company from Germany, acquired Greyhound's U.S. arm in October, which means it took over remaining cross-border lines, like the one between Toronto and New York.
