As STC ends, passengers left waiting for new service
The last Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC) bus rolls out of the barn Wednesday evening.
As of now, no private company is offering any bus routes although 11 have applied to do so through Saskatchewan’s Highway Traffic Board (HTB).
One of those is Carpe Diem who has applied to run a service on most major routes in the central and southern parts of the province.
“We haven’t actually heard any more news about it, but with people contesting it, we haven’t been able to move forward with our passenger service,” co-owner Mitch Blyth explained to the 980 CJME Morning Show. “It has really delayed things badly for us, we had hoped for a seamless transition but apparently it is not going to happen.”
