jc.theriault Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 The tenants and management at the Truro Centre plaza must of finally said "get out" to Maritime Bus. As of next month they are moving into the old Acadian Lines station. How a serious accident never occurred at the Esplanade location is beyond me.. just pure luck when it comes to the many close calls that have occurred in the last year.

hfx_chris Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Having a bus terminal in the downtown area: great idea. Having a bus terminal in that specific location: terrible idea. Glad they're out of there and back to the old station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad they're out of there and back to the old station. It'll be a better location for sure. I noticed Crombie Properties took out a renovation permit for the old CIBC location in the Wyse Rd plaza and that spot is now being divided in half for use as MB's Dartmouth location. They currently occupy one of the other empty stores in the strip mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buschic Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 the people in the apartment building right behind are getting pissed off with the noise of the buses, I saw & was approached by several people to sign a petition, to ask city council to kick out MB.. I didnt sign it.. For one thing I think its stupid.. also, I honestly have given up completely on fighting for accessibility in the HRM, after an incident I went through during & after, the supposed "accessibility" meeting held September 30.. I wish ANYONE luck in fighting for accessibility in the HRM, aint gonna happen, not now, now in the near future, likely someday in the distant future, it MIGHT, but thats going to be only after people in the HRM & Nova Scotia in general, get their collective heads outta their rear ends, & actually stand up for themselves & FIGHT for the things they need, instead of lying down & allowing themselves to be donkey kicked in the faces constantly, by both the big conglomerates & the few companies that completely rule NS, & have them so scared to actually FIGHT & demand justice & fair treatment.. I cant tell you why I have had to suddenly quit fighting & have had to move, as it has aspects that legally are bound in a ND order from the courts.. I have to warn you all, if you try to speak up, be prepared to be silenced by rich people/companies & their money.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buschic Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 A "ND", oh that can't be good, so they ran you out of town for being an activist??? Surely that can't be right. Must be more to the story no? check your inbox... not able to discuss in public.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buschic Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Any news on accessible buses for MB? I've not had time since moving back to Ontario to keep an eye on the situation.. I've been hired to do more accessibility work, so have been focusing on that. Sent from my ALCATEL ONE TOUCH 6040A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc.theriault Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 No accessible buses yet, I don't think Mike ever mentioned a year when he said the buses would arrive in month X. Maybe 2024?? I can't say too much now that the company has agreed to a mediation session with Cdn Human Rights people so that we might resolve this matter before a full blown Tribunal Hearing takes place. I will say that I look forward to fighting the lies and bullying that the company management has used in efforts to stop the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anne03 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Does anyone know if the bus going from Saint John NB to Riviere-Du-Loup has WIFI?, I guess the bus would be from Fredericton or Salisbury NB to Riviere-Du-Loup since you have to transfer...just wondering if these buses have Wifi though.

jc.theriault Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Depends on what coach gets assigned to the route that particular day. Some have it, some don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghYHZ Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Maritime Bus: Great Service!Work assignments away from home had me on Maritime Bus several times over the past couple of months. When I weighed the options of driving (and the parking costs) plus the ability to get some work done along the way.....Maritime Bus won out. Service was excellent, clean buses and right on time or very close.I also had a co-worker take the bus on my suggestion....and on a much longer run to Edmundston to meet-up with someone coming home from Ontario to share the drive. Their impression….just fine and they would do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transitfan39 Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 I saw a Maritime Bus on Rene Lesvesque in Montreal Quebec over the weekend, does anyone know why a Maritime Bus would be in a Montreal? Since I thought they would be as far west as New Brunswick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghYHZ Posted March 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Yup….probably a ‘Coach Atlantic-Maritime Bus’ charter. And Maritime Bus scheduled service does make it as far west as Riviere-du-Loup, Quebec https://maritimebus.com/locations/bus-stops-quebec/riviere-du-loup/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
