The past 5 years at Saint John Transit have had some big wins! But we have one big problem catching up with us. More than half our 40' buses are manufactured by a company that closed in 2012. Every province in Canada funds public transit, except New Brunswick. Please read and share with your MLA.

That statement is not entirely accurate. While the Province of Ontario has long provided capital funding for new subway and light rail lines, they stopped providing operating funding almost thirty years ago.

The $178M for Toronto is only a small fraction of the TTC's almost $1.4B budget which the Province used to fund half until the late 1990's. Still, having been born and raised in Moncton, I don't understand why NB wouldn't fund transit.
