Maritime Bus will be able to keep operating its two routes to northern New Brunswick after all.
The province has announced $720,000 in funding to help the company cover its pandemic-related losses.
It comes just two days before the company was set to cut service between Fredericton and Edmundston and between Moncton and Campbellton.
“We took the time to work with municipal stakeholders on this priority file and to do our due diligence to ensure this service continues to be available during the pandemic,” Local Government Minister Daniel Allain said in a news release.
A one-time funding allocation of $360,000 under the public transit category of the Safe Restart Agreement will be matched by funds from the Regional Development Corporation for a total of $720,000.
