Everything about Greyhound Lines Of Canada totally explained
Greyhound Canada is a prominent operator of inter-city coach services in Canada. Based in Calgary, it's a subsidiary of Britain’s FirstGroup plc, linked with Dallas-based Greyhound Lines (also known as Greyhound USA).
History
In 1929 Greyhound Canada was founded as Canadian Greyhound Coaches, Limited, operating in Alberta. It merged with Greyhound USA in 1935 and split after Greyhound Canada was sold in 1987. It wasn't until Laidlaw's purchase of the Canadian operations in 1987 and U.S. operations in 1999 did the two operations link up again. Toronto area routes and some buses were acquired from Gray Coach in 1991. In 1998 Greyhound purchased Quebec-based Voyageur Colonial Bus Lines, and, shortly afterward, bought Central Ontario's Penetang-Midland Coach Lines, thus gaining a foothold in the South-Central Ontario region.
Routes
Greyhound Canada's scheduled bus service operates in eight of Canada's provinces and territories ( Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan, and Yukon).
Connections to US destinations are available, primarily through Greyhound USA, although there's direct service to New York City, Seattle, Detroit and other cities in states bordering Canada via Greyhound Canada.
