You can thank the various local/provincial/state governments for that 
one.  Years ago, GM pretty much owned the local transit bus market and 
produced an excellent product.  Then the governments seemed to think 
they could do better, provide local jobs etc., which resulted in a 
fragmented bus industry, in which few do well.
