The story

Moncton Transit Limited

Owned by the Pettipas family, notably Gus Pettipas (co-owner and manager), Moncton Transit Limited provided transit service to the City of Moncton. Transit operations were sold to the City of Moncton under the Codiac Transit Commission on 1 August 1980. Moncton Transit Limited continued to operate charter buses as Tours to Remember and school buses as Metro School Bus. They lost the school bus contract for New Brunswick School District 2 in June 2002, and ceased operations in December 2007.

City of Moncton Lockout of ATU Local 1290 - 2012

Codiac Transpo bus services halted on 27 June 2012 when the City of Moncton locked out members of ATU Local 1290. The labour dispute was a result of a two year expired collective agreement and negotiation windfalls wherein the City of Moncton wouldn't meet ATU's wage upkeep demands, (which still would be less than Saint John's and Halifax's wages at the time) resulting in the City of Moncton locking out members. Codiac Transpo service resumed after a settlement with the union was reached on 28 November 2012. Due to route changes during the lockout, drivers had to be retrained on new routes. This resulted in a delayed return to service after the dispute.

Accessibility

Only select routes are currently considered accessible routes by codiactranspo.ca though every route currently offered is able to reasonably accommodate wheelchair using riders.

Request A Stop

Bus drivers of Codiac Transpo will accommodate requests by riders after dark to be let off the bus between bus stops. Riders must make this request to the driver when getting on board.

Bike Racks
