Other states, including New Mexico and Louisiana, have long wooed producers with tax incentives. And for a few years, it seemed as if every "New York" movie was filmed in either Vancouver or Toronto.

The first buses will be rolled out between New York City and Toronto or Montreal, then on the New York City-Boston route. Over the next few years, the entire fleet will be revamped...
