There's a pretty good write up on this in the Globe this week. See the following URL.

Info on the PEI company looking to fill the gap:

FYI for anyone who cares. Scotia Shuttle Service travels between Halifax and Saint John, Moncton and Fredericton. It's only once a day but it's an option to consider. Earlier this year I traveled from Saint John to Fredericton, $20, can't beat that. The guy even went out of his way to drop me off exactly where I wanted.

Hi,does anyone have any idea if there are any viable alternatives in the works to replace Acadian bus lines ?

It appears so. There is a company from PEI who has applied to the routes. It is not known yet whether they will apply to take all routes or only the most profitable ones....

Sounds like Via Rail might get involved, I would love to see more train service here in the Maritimes.
