Based on the GRT plans that I recall, I don't see any cuts to the bus routes. That being the case, there really should be no significant impact.
Some day in the distant future, when we have LRT criss-crossing the city it might be different, but then there should hopefully be new opportunities for GRT employees with Grandlinq as well. It's really too far in the future to speculate.
