WINNIPEG - It looks like Greyhound will continue to operate in Manitoba - at least for the short-term.

The bus company has announced it is working on an agreement with the Manitoba government to keep buses rolling.

Greyhound had threatened to stop operating in Manitoba by next week, and cut service in northern Ontario by December, unless it received $15 million a year in subsidies.

The company says it has met with provincial officials and is working on a deal.

Manitoba Transportation Minister Ron Lemieux says he wants to see bus service continue, but warns some future route reductions are probable.
