Rider Express applies to take over four bus routes in western Canada

Saskatchewan company Rider Express has applied to take over four bus routes in western Canada.

Rider Express wants to take over the routes from Greyhound, which discontinued its service to the Prairies and B.C. last month.

The four routes will offer bus service to Regina, Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver. The bus company is purchasing full-sized coaches for the routes.
