hi

some very good points raised, and i have a thought to add to the discussion
. . .

>... and unregulated vans in Nova Scotia and P.E.I. are driving interurban
>buses into bankruptcy.

well, i do feel sorry for any smaller local owned bus routes still
surviving, but personally i would opt for taking a small buisness shuttle
at less cost over irving- owned- lets-  move- all- the- bus stops- to-
irving- stations acadia lines any day.

cheers, jan  ~
