that being said, there is a broader problem with regional public transit in this area that should be addressed by the province. do you realize that the greyhound service from detroit to windsor and back has a more useful schedule for many people, at a comparable price, than the privately run tunnel bus?

it's not likely that the private service will last. it's hours suck, and it costs too much.

reliable public transit from detroit to windsor and back could be done through expansion of detroit's rail network, and that has been talked about, but should also be a part of a broader network from windsor to london and from london to sarnia, kitchener, hamilton and niagara. london is the obvious central hub for the region. in 2026, kitchener and hamilton are in the gta and are serviced by toronto buses and niagara's not too far. but it's very hard to get around in southwest ontario, and the region is firmly not a part of toronto and can't be serviced by toronto. it could in theory be serviced by london but it's not. it's more likely that london gets swallowed by toronto than that it becomes the centre of a bigger city, but that would be a maximum extension of toronto for decades. toronto is never going to get to windsor.

it would probably make more sense for the province to step in and take over a tunnel bus as the exit terminus of a broader regional transit that better connects the region to itself and better connects detroit, toronto and buffalo together, as well as toronto to sudbury, ottawa, kingston and montreal. the 400 level highways are there. a similar bus service between niagara and buffalo should also exist.

this is a potential issue for the ndp or liberals to run on in the region in the next election and they should seriously consider it. the greyhound was never replaced fully.
