Transport Action Atlantic: Michael Perry

Intercity Bus Service Dept: Transport Action Atlantic is continuing to call on the provincial government to subsidize rural bus routes, according to CBC. "It's just a no-go. You can't run public transport effectively, particularly inter-regional transport, given the population levels we have and expect to make any kind of profit of it," said Perry and an advocacy group for intercity bus service in New Brunswick says there are better ways to help the industry than Nova Scotia's recent move to deregulate. Otherwise, those communities are at risk of being without any service, said board member Michael Perry. Maritime Bus is taking over intercity bus service on Dec. 1, when Acadian Lines closes.
