Except for Vancouver to Seattle Greyhound service in the west is ended.
Service from the iconic Greyhounds are a thing of the past in BC today. The routes however have a number of private servers taking them up and for those that are not the province is intervening:
BC Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, Claire Trevena, indicated that the Province is continuing to work with communities and private operators to find new carriers for the remaining 17% of the routes left without service. BC’s independent tribunal, the Passenger Transportation Board, has been actively soliciting applications for new service providers to fill the gap left by Greyhound. In addition to the expected new private service providers, the Province announced earlier this summer, BC Bus North, a publicly funded, base level, interim service to cover the majority of northern BC routes previously covered by Greyhound.
Service between Vancouver and Victoria has been offered by Wilsons Transportation service Bus tickets between some select sailings can be had through BC Ferries.
The Sunshine Coast, Powel River and Bowen Island are all bus serviced by namesake transit. Blue Bus can take you from West Vancouver to Horseshoe Bay.
The province estimates that 83 percent of routes will be taken up by private carriers.
