Transit Union Pleased With Support From Councillor


The President of the Saint John local of the Amalgamated Transit Union says the community support on saving city bus service has been positive.
On Boxing Day Saint John Transit will lose 14,000 hours of service, 10 full-time positions and 5 part-time due to budget constraints.
Tom McGraw tells CHSJ News they are pleased with the two motions being put forward by Councillor Patty Higgins at tonight's Common Council meeting.

He says the one they are most concerned with is the motion to revisit the financing and the cuts to transit.

Members of the Transit union are hosting an information picket in front of City Hall today.
