Greyhound buses are becoming a thing of the past in Canada.
On a practical level this is pretty serious for a lot of people in many small (and not so small communities.) For example there's now no public transportation between Vancouver Island's two largest communities, Victoria (pop: 340,000) and Nanaimo (pop: 90,000) a distance of 110kms. More worryingly, rural residents in remote areas are left to depend on taxis or flagging a ride on the highway. This at a time when the disappearance of dozens of indigenous women over several decades in Northern BC is still unresolved.
