SERVICES' FUNDS * Canada - Manitoba to help keep Greyhound buses running
Province to provide passenger service with $3.12-million to prevent routes from closing
Manitoba,Canada -The Globe & Mail -Mar. 19, 2010: -- The Manitoba government says it will provide Greyhound with $3.12-million to keep the passenger bus service from shutting down for at least a year... Transportation Minister, Steve Ashton, says the money will give the government time to develop a long-term solution to keep the carrier on the road... The province plans to consult with communities on options to the inter-city network... Ashton pointed out that many Manitobans in rural and northern communities depend on affordable bus service... The province agreed in October to negotiate financial aid for Greyhound, which had threatened to pull out of Manitoba altogether because of financial losses... But Premier, Greg Selinger, said at the time that he wasn't keen on permanent subsidies...Labels: transport funds
