There is one less option for Thompsonites when it comes to catching a bus to Winnipeg.

Kasper Transportation, who was the first to announce they would take over the route abandoned by Greyhound, has said that they have pulled the plug on the route.

A spokesperson for the Ontario-based bus line said that the Province made a serious mistake by giving out as many licenses as they did for the route, saying that since Kasper got their license, they’ve been handed out like a “free dinner voucher”.

Accord to the company, the market for the route has become too crowded and the company would rather save money until the other companies are “tapped out, burnt out and beat up” while Kasper can “take their sweet time doing it right”.

Both Thompson Bus and Maple Bus lines continue to offer overnight service to Winnipeg multiple times every week.
