Kasper Transportation announced Monday it’s suspending the bus route between Selkirk, Man., and Winnipeg until further notice.

In a Facebook post the company said it can’t sustain the route without local, provincial or federal partnership.

The company notes it will reopen the route if it’s able to create this kind of partnership with the federal government.

Kasper Transportation said the suspension of this route will allow it to focus on making improvements to existing routes.

Beaver Bus Lines ran a route between Selkirk and Winnipeg for many years but cancelled it in 2016 due to declining ridership and increasing costs.

Exclusive Bus Lines took over the route after that, but also shut down in 2017.
