Board says Fed Bus ruling coming soon

Ryan Chen-Wing - 25 July 2006 - 11:13pm

"As soon as possible" was when transport board chair Gary Stanley said they would make a ruling on the licence application for Fed Bus.

The two-day hearing ended today. Over those days the board heard evidence and arguments over whether to grant STC a licence to operate Fed Bus with Federation of Students as a ticket agent.

Greyhound Canada opposed the application and has offered its own service which would start this September.

The May ruling from the Ontario Highway Transport Board gave a deadline for Student Transportation Canada to cease operating without a licence of 31 July 2006, in six days. That ruling also said that the board normally makes rulings within two weeks.

If the board meets the two-week deadline then the ruling would arrive the Tuesday after the August long weekend.

Another point on timing of ruling

Ryan - Friday, 28 July, 2006 - 07:34

For the Greyhound's complaint against STC and Fed Bus, the hearing was 30 March and the ruling came 3 May, which was 5 weeks. It was delayed because they were waiting for information from Feds' lawyer. I didn't see any indication at the hearing that they would need extra information.
