It's now official; Greyhound will not be operating municipal transit buses here in Thompson as of October 31st.

 

The bus line, who is owned by the UK-based First Group, has officially given City officials notice that when the company pulls out of western Canada, they will be terminating their contract with the City of Thompson.

 

Thompson Bus said during their official announcement that they would consider taking over the municipal transit routes, though their recently-released limited service schedule only indicates inter-city routes.

 

Ontario-based Kasper Transportation quickly responded to Greyhound's announced departure by saying that they would operate a Thompson to Winnipeg route, though they have not said anything since.

 

The only Greyhound bus route that will continue to run past Halloween is a US-based service that runs from Seattle to Vancouver.
