Traxx Coachlines, in cooperation with Red Arrow Motorcoach, announced a new bus service between Calgary and Medicine Hat, in a partnership that will include stops at Calgary International Airport, Red Arrow's north Calgary office, Foothills Hospital, North Hill Mall, CrossIron Mills, and Airdrie. 

Dwaine Dietrich, in marketing with Traxx, says the purpose of the route is to provide a link from Medicine Hat to Calgary and to connect Red Arrow coaches headed to Red Deer, Edmonton and Fort McMurray.

The Alberta government's decision to de-regulate bus service in the province has allowed Red Arrow to add new routes, such as the new Medicine Hat partnership and another launched this fall to Lethbridge. This means Red Arrow will now be in direct competition with Greyhound.
