The city of Corner Brook unveiled a temporary accessible bus for its’ transit system this week, one that is on loan until the new one can be built. It will provide door-to-door service to people who qualify. Mayor Jim Parsons says there have been a lot of improvements in transit over the last few years with doubling capacity with new buses, and working with government to get free passes in place for GIS and Income Support.
Parsons says at the beginning, it will be an on-demand service and people will call and book a pickup and eventually integrate into fixed routes for parts of the city that are underserved. He says improvements are very costly but it’s an important service for a lot of individuals who need to get to appointments and work, as well as a part of a modern healthy community.
