Smithers mayor Taylor Bachrach, a long-time advocate for the new transit service, disagrees. (Andrew Kurjata/CBC)"That need still exists for an inter-city carrier that takes passengers those longer distances … Greyhound's been a life link for northern B.C.

(Northern Health Authority)"We know that rural health outcomes are worse and there's pretty good evidence it's poorer access to services," he said.
