Greyhound
#50
Reaching back a century, between 1917 and 1923 the federal government created Canadian National Railway out of the ashes of various failing railways which were nonetheless important to the lifeblood of Canada. Just tossing this one out there, but what would it take for the federal government to create a Crown Corporation to handle all intercity bus traffic in the country? There would be some negotiations to avoid overlap from provincial agencies (eg GO Transit and Ontario Northland). Are there other countries that have national bus system?

Who knows, maybe bus routes could become the precursor to relaunching passenger rail routes if the traffic warranted it?
