Loosing Greyhound in Canada has a big blow to the bus industry. But Megabus has really stepped up to the plate. It has been almost a year since Megabus last expanded its service in Canada. Now, they are expanding further. Thank you Colin for taking the time to share your expansion plans with us.

Today, we have the opportunity to interview Colin Emberson, Vice President of Retail for Megabus who will share their expansion plans of its existing service in Canada.
