Transit Cape Breton will have new buses on the road after an investment of more than $2.3 million from the federal government.
This project was announced today by Parliamentary Secretary Jaime Battiste, MP for Sydney-Victoria, Parliamentary Secretary Mike Kelloway, MP for Cape Breton-Canso, and Mayor Amanda McDougall-Merrill.
Transit Cape Breton will buy two new traditional buses, two new hybrid accessible mini buses, and build five new bus shelters. This project will include the implementation of a new on-demand software that will make paratransit service more efficient by improving ride booking, cutting down route travel time, and increasing the capacity of the service. The project will also support the introduction of a new smart card fare payment system, a contactless payment service that will make paying transit fares faster and easier.
