Greyhound Canada is cutting its travel and shipping fares in certain regions of the country in a bid to win back customers after a week-long strike in Western Canada.

"Obviously we're delighted to resume service for our customers who have been loyal to Greyhound … and we do realize the disruption created an inconvenience, and we just want to earn our customers' business and trust back," Eric Wesly, a Greyhound spokesman, told CBC.

The Calgary-based company is offering a 25 per cent reduction on walk-up fares for two weeks starting May 29. Passengers in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba can purchase the tickets, which will be good for one year.

Passengers whose service was interrupted along the Winnipeg-Toronto and the Winnipeg-Ottawa routes are also eligible for the fare discount.

The company will also release details later Monday regarding a 25 per cent discount for its shipping service.

Greyhound workers voted last Wednesday to accept a tentative agreement that provided for wage increases of three per cent for two years.
