Greyhound abandons passengers for 14 hours in Northern Ontario

‘Abandoned’ Greyhound bus passengers ponder lawsuit - thestar.com

Angry Greyhound passengers were contemplating legal action against
the bus company Tuesday for being left to fend for themselves for some
14 hours in a small town in northern Ontario.


Many of the more than 100 westbound passengers who were stuck in
White River, Ont., on two buses said Greyhound added insult to injury by
giving them the runaround when they sought answers.


“It was just a brutal experience,” Paul Hitchin said Tuesday after finally arriving in Calgary.


“I’ve never seen a company do something like that to people and not care anymore.”


I've had bad experiences on Greyhound, but nothing of this magnitude. I usually try to take Ontario Northland buses when possible. They seem much more concerned about their passengers than Greyhound.
