There will be no changes to Para-Bus service in North Bay as of Wednesday as it will no longer be operated by P.H.A.R.A.

Supervisor of Transit Luc Lirette says the phone number will not change.

“The dispatchers are the same. The only difference is there will be new faces behind the wheel as we have partnered with Stock Transportation to contract out some of their drivers,” he says.

He says the new system will be in place until the city announces a new operator.

Lirette says the service allows those with mobility issues to get out in the community.

Lirette says Para-Bus plays a major role in the community.

“It allows individuals with mobility issues to have the freedom to go out in the community and participate like everyone else does,” Lirette says.

The hours of operation remain the same Monday to Friday from 7:30 am-11 pm, 9 am-11 pm on Saturdays and 9:30-6 pm on Sundays.

For more call Para-Bus at 705-474-5530.
