If you’re living in one of the many small communities around Calgary, you might not be able to take a Greyhound bus to get into the city.
According to the union representing bus workers, rural Albertans will be stranded now that busses won’t be travelling to Okotoks, Nanton, High River, Claresholm and Taber.
