Still Waiting for the Bus: The Unnatural Death of Prairie Intercity Transit

Pledge Intercity Transit

ATU Canada has sponsored an audio documentary called Still Waiting for the Bus: The Unnatural Death of Prairie Intercity Transit, made in partnership with Winnipeg-based documentary producer Emily Leedham. 

This documentary explores the impacts of losing the Saskatchewan Transportation Company and Greyhound bus services in Western Canada. It also interrogates the claims that these intercity bus services were no longer financially feasible to operate.

This audio documentary is available on Soundcloud, YouTube, iTunes and other podcasting apps.

Since the Saskatchewan Transportation Company and Greyhound have shut down intercity transit service in Western Canada, access to mobility, freedom, community, family, health care, and other public services are at risk for millions of people across Canada.

Without adequate public transportation, the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls will only get worse.

Without rapid expansion of public transit, we cannot reduce our carbon emissions to mitigate the worst effects of climate change.

The private market has not and will not adequately replace these intercity transit services.

We need a public option.

We demand the establishment of a national public intercity transit service as part of a Green New Deal for social, economic and environmental justice and tangible reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.
