Despite early scepticism, the suburban bus service is getting a lot of use with a new route starting in Quispamsis on Tuesday.
Frank McCarey is the General Manager for Saint John Transit and tells CHSJ News people living outside the city are taking the bus more than he originally thought they would.
He says he expected it to take 3 years to get the rider-ship they wanted in suburban areas, but it actually only took 8 months.
McCarey says he thinks people using the service are people that went from 2 cars to 1, and that's why there's more demand.
