VICTORIA --
The Vancouver Island-based Wilson's Group says its hopeful about the future of its intercity bus services following an outpouring of support from community members and local government leaders.
The company, which operates the Tofino Bus and Vancouver Island Connector bus routes, had to suspend operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On Feb. 2, Wilson's Group said it would be extending its service suspension and said it was at a risk of permanently closing.
"With our current passenger counts we are unable to cover the costs for these runs and simply cannot afford to continue to operate these routes," said president John Wilson at the time.
