    It’s also a straight shot down the Trans-Canada Highway, and they already have a terminus in Regina for their existing lines. All in all, a good start for expansion.

    Of course, what’s really needed is routes to rural, northern, and underserved communities, but that won’t happen without government subsidies.

      From a european who only sees flixbus for routes between major, international, bus rides ( think paris <-> brussels ):

      … They do regular bus rides in other countries? Like normal commute bus rides?

        Well, this new route is about 360 km, so not exactly a commuter distance.

        a new interconnected service line running from Regina to Brandon to Winnipeg

        That is connecting larger cities together.

        Winnipeg to Regina is about 575Km (with Brandon located between them, about 200Km feom Winnipeg)
