The purchase of three minibuses will improve public transit services in northern New Brunswick communities after an investment of more than $487,000 from the federal government.
This was announced by Serge Cormier, Member of Parliament for Acadie-Bathurst, on behalf of the Minister of Housing, Infrastructure, and Communities, Michael Willett, President of the Chaleur Regional Service Commission, and Kim Chamberlain, Mayor of the City of Bathurst.
With this funding, the Chaleur Regional Services Commission will purchase vehicles to extend the public transit services offered by FlexGo in the City of Bathurst area, with the goal of rolling it out to the entire Chaleur region over the next few years.
This investment will provide residents with reliable public transportation to go to work, attend school, and access essential services, enabling them to complete their day-to-day activities. It will also encourage and support economic growth opportunities in northern New Brunswick.
