Greyhound Canada: disaster as opportunity

After more than two pre-COVID years of cutting services across the country, a subject consistently noted by TorontotheBetter Greyhound Canada finally called it quits in Toornto and southern Ontario on May 17, as reported here [https://www.driving.ca/car-culture/travel/the-end-of-the-road-for-greyhound-canada]. Greyhound's regrets for the workers and users left without jobs and service were duly recorded, along with a perfunctory note that customers were adjusting to the situation. Most important take-away from Greyhound's local collapse is the lesson for citizens and their governments: key social needs like local transportation must not be left to profit based decision-making. Greyhound Canada's disappearance from Toronto and beyond opens the door for accountable governments and social enterprise to fill the gap. TorontotheBetter invites them both to heed the call.
