Transit ridership has decreased by something like 5 per cent because of the downturn in the economy. That word coming from Saint John Transit General Manager Frank McCarey amid questions from Quispamsis Council about whether the town is getting its money worth with the Comex suburban bus service.
The town subsidises the suburban bus service to the tune of 180 thousand dollars a year.
53 per cent of suburban riders use the service on a daily basis. McCarey tells CHSJ News the best way to boost that percentage is by word of mouth because once commuters use the service, they stick with it.
More than 16 hundred people from the K-V work at the Regional Hospital and U-N-B Saint John or take classes at the university but their schedules are all over the map.
The "mean girls" stereotype isn't as true as you might think.
According to new research, boys are more likely to report being instigators of mean or cruel online behaviour, while girls are more likely to have mean things said about them.
37 percent of young people surveyed reported that someone has done something cruel to them online that made them feel badly and 11 percent of students called it a serious problem.
While boys were just as likely to spread online rumours as girls. girls were more likely than boys to post an embarrassing photo or video.
Right now, Charlotte County's Cooke Aquaculture isn't selling a lot of salmon or other seafood products in Korea, but that could change in the very near future due to the recently signed Canada-Korea free trade agreement.

Cooke employs about 500 people and produces about 60 million pounds of Atlantic salmon and 2 million pounds of trout each year.
