Now that I think about it, I'm not sure where the regional buses have been stopping since York St started under construction last year. I followed one of the regional buses down York today but I turned off before downtown so I didn't see where they went.

The influx of new bus companies since the demise of Greyhound Canada has been beneficial for consumers. I use FlixBus whenever I come back to London, they have service to Pearson Airport and they’re a fraction of the cost of Robert Q. I used to use Robert Q but not anymore.
Robert Q is going to need to revisit their pricing strategy if they want to survive. They don’t do anything that FlixBus doesn’t; their home pickup can be replicated by Uber to the FlixBus pickup point.
