by Some people in the Regional Municipality will soon be able to get free bus passes.
The province says free annual passes will be given to people on income assistance, their spouses and dependants and people taking part in the Disability Support Program.
The program is expected to launch this fall.
The Department of Opportunities and Social Development says the program builds on the success of a similar program in Halifax.
It says more information on the passes will be available later this summer.
