Woman Urges Council Not To Cut Transit

A Sydney Mines woman is urging Cape Breton Regional Council not to go ahead with proposed cuts to Transit Cape Breton.

Council is considering a plan to reduce the bus service by 200 hours a week as the CBRM grapples with a projected 3.2 million dollar budget shortfall.

But Martha Ross says that many people rely on the bus and she’s calling on councillors to think twice before making any cuts.

Meanwhile, Council has decided that the proposed reduction in transit hours is among a number of proposed cuts that need further study.
