Greyhound urged to reconsider route cuts for visually impaired Canadians
CMIB calls on Greyhound Canada to rethink reductions in Manitoba, Northern Ontario, and rural Alberta routes. Many Canadians with blindness or partial sight rely on provincial and cross country bus travel to access NIB services, medical appointments, work, training, and to visit. Driving is not viable and flights are costly. Over 830,000 Canadians live with significant vision loss and nearly half earn $20,000 or less. The letter asks federal and Transportation Ministry officials to collaborate with Greyhound to fix the issue promptly.
