Proposed Inter City Shuttle Bus Service Bites The Dust

A Prince Edward Island company has failed to get approval to start a door to door van shuttle service in the province.

Advanced Shuttle Services proposed to set up a reservations only shuttle service using 15-seat passenger vans but the Energy and Utilities Board rejected the application ruling the proposed service isn't covered under the province's Motor Carrier Act and didn't include a regular route.

The company was looking to run two shuttles which would make stops at the Regional Hospital and U-N-B Saint John. There also would have been stops in Fredericton, Moncton and Port Elgin.
