Ontario's minister for the north says Greyhound's threat tocancel bus service in northwestern Ontario is ``a great concern.''
But Michael Gravelle is still hopeful a bailout won't be necessary to keep the buses on the roads.
Greyhound says unless the government coughs up 15 million dollars in subsidies, it'll close routes in northwestern Ontario and Manitoba this fall.
It has already suspended some routes but Transportation MinisterJim Bradley says other bus companies are picking up the slack.
