$5 Million Needed To Keep Current Bus Service

Ask Saint Johners about city bus service and you get the same answer as you do on roads..... nobody's happy. Common Council agreeing to look at restoring 2012's hatchet job on subsidies for Saint John Transit which currently has no holiday or nighttime service and few early morning routes.

Common Councillor Donnie Snook says the bus is especially important in the urban core. He wants to see the South End have evening bus services extended to 10pm and service restored to other areas as well.

According to financial reports the city would have to pony up at least $5 million dollars just to maintain the reduced level of service we have now, and  Snook says we need to do better than that.
