Greyhound blaming Flair for its' withdrawal from long bus service is a convenient excuse.
I suspect there were very few passengers on Greyhound travelling YXX-YEG or between any other major cities.
Most of Greyhounds passengers are traveling from small towns with no airport to other small towns or into major cities.

Money isn't made on the $19.56 base fare. It's made on the artificially high carryon and baggage fees.
