imageFirst a gruesome beheading, then another stabbing, and now? A busload of passengers exposed to tuberculosis. Needless to say it’s been a bad couple of months for Greyhound’s Canadian operation—not to mention for the victims and other affected passengers.

Not so long ago I offered some grudging praise for long distance bus travel. I don’t normally let isolated incidents affect my travel plans, but I’m starting to wonder if it’s time to eat my words—and maybe book a train ticket.

Maybe Greyhound Canada need to hire a voodoo doctor to ward off the evil spirits. :)
