BCgov is creating a new interim northern bus service called "BC Bus North" to run long-haul travel on June 4, shortly after Greyhound shuts operations. Service would go along highway of tears and to other locations roughly twice a week. One-way fares of $35-$45.

Limited schedule, but this is better than no bus service at all. Important along the @highwayoftears, where women have disappeared while hitchhiking. #Missing #MMIW
