Trentway Wagar
Trentway-Wagar Incorporated is a regional and chartered intercity bus carrier in Ontario and is based in Peterborough, Ontario. The company acquired the Montreal-Toronto route of Voyageur Colonial.[when?] After it was acquired by Stagecoach Group,[when?] it adopted the marketing name Coach Canada. It currently operates as Megabus, but its legal name remains Trentway-Wagar.
Carpool litigation
Trentway-Wagar won a legal battle in Ontario on November 12, 2008. The company had alleged that PickupPal, an online carpool matching service, was violating Ontario safety laws. PickupPal was ordered to pay $2,836.07 CAN to the Ontario government and $8,500.00 CAN to Trentway-Wagar for the violation of these laws.[1][2]
Trentway-Wagar received criticism for its litigation against PickupPal, leading to cancellations by clients and prompting politicians to introduce new legislation that is more prepared to deal with emerging businesses like PickupPal.[3]
On April 24, 2009 the Ontario Government amended the Public Vehicle Act to remove any mention of carpool vehicles, thus essentially removing any legal barriers preventing carpooling in Ontario.[4]
