New Express Bus Service To Be Tried

Whether it will become a permanent fixture or not remains to be seen and largely depends on how many people use it but a special express bus service will be tested later this month to help those folks who live in three of the city's priority neighbourhoods get to the east side shopping district on Sundays.

Sara Stashick of Vibrant Communities tells CHSJ news there will be test runs on April 7th and the 21st for bus riders who live in Crescent Valley, along Anglin Drive and Rockwood Court, now called Davenport.

Stashick says this express service has been identified as a need in surveys which Saint John Transit has been paying attention to as it gets more money to work with. It's just a matter of determining if financially, you can make something like this new service work and what's the best model.   

Regular fares will be charged but the monthly and other transit passes can also be used.
