Saint John Transit Cuts Being Opposed

Common Council will be getting a petition tonight in opposition to cuts to city bus service that will be implemented on Boxing Day.

10 fulltime jobs are being eliminated and 5 others are being made part time along with reductions in service. 

The Transit workers union says the decision by Common Council to limit Saint John Transit to a one per cent budget increase next year will leave it 900 thousand dollars in debt.
