I don't worry as much about the city to city routes, as there are other options (maybe not great, but if you had to get from Calgary to Vancouver without a car, you could do it.

What I worry about is the small town service. My parents, for example, live in a small town in Saskatchewan and often have to go to Saskatoon for appointments. They are still driving at this point, but eventually may not be. They started taking the bus in to the city if they didn't want to drive (certain appointments where driving after wasn't advisable, bad weather, etc.) I worry that people like them will not want to impose on others, so they will drive when they shouldn't and I worry about the people who don't drive or have a car.

I hope some kind of alternative develops for those people.
