A sizable hole in local transit options may not be in place for long.

A private operator is planning to launch a bus service in the tunnel connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, in the coming weeks comparable to the one that Transit Windsor retired at the end of August .

Dhar Bhella, who owns the new service called The Linq, said he’s aiming for an Oct. 1 launch, cautioning that the date could change.
