City Buses Getting Long In The Tooth

More money next year in the 2014 city budget for Saint John Transit but there will only be enough to cover higher costs of operating. 

City Transit buses are older than the national average, 11.6 years compared to 7 and a half to 8 years. Common Councillor Donna Reardon argues Saint John has been playing catchup after some budgetary neglect.

Reardon says they would prefer to have the average age of a bus in the city be 8 and a half to 9 years because it costs more money to keep older buses on the road.
