Greyhound Talks

Talks are set to go Wednesday to help save Greyhound services in northwestern Ontario.

The company and Ontario Transportation Minister Jim Bradley will meet for an undetermined length of time to work out a solution.

Greyhound vice-president Stuart Kendrick says he would like to see a leadership role from provincial and federal ministers for a short-term, 15-million break-even subsidy, that would give both sides 12 months to look at a long-term plan.

Greyhound has set a December 2nd deadline of pulling the plug on northwestern Ontario services.
