Transit GM Calls Bus Route A Bad Idea

With Common Councillor John Mackenzie motioning for the city to investigate a bus route from Saint John and outlying areas to the Sussex Potash Mine and Point Lepreau. 

Saint John Transit General Manager Frank McCarrey tells CHSJ news he doesn't see such a service making money unless it was subsidized by the companies. With so many drastic cuts to the bus service over the past several months, McCarrey says the last thing they need is to lose more money.

McCarrey says without subsidies the fare would have to be as high as 10 dollars a head.
