Maritime Bus Approved For Bridgewater-Halifax Route

The owner of Maritime Bus says his company will offer a new route between Bridgewater and Halifax on a trial basis. Mike Cassidy says the bus will make the trip into the city four times a week for the month of December and then he'll seek feedback from customers to see how its working. The bus will pick up riders at the Wileville Irving and make trips on Sunday's, Monday's, Wednesday's and Friday's. Cassidy is hopeful the service will be popular to offer year-round.The company is offering more convenient arrival and departure times - leaving Bridgewater in the morning at 6:30AM and leaving Halifax in the evening at 5:30PM. The Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board gave Maritime Bus temporary approval to operate the run late last week.
