Veterans in the Greater Moncton area are going to ride in style after the purchase of a new bus.
Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6 Bus Committee Vice Chair Keith Brewer says they had to replace their 17-year old bus, because it was becoming expensive to maintain.
He says they fundraised from all the area Legion branches to come up with the almost $100,000 cost.
“This bus has got all the bells and whistles you could possibly think of,” says Brewer. “It’s got a backup camera, it’s got a chair lift that’s automatic with all the modern safety features, we got the extra strength straps to hold the wheelchairs in place.”
The bus has room for three passengers, and up to six wheelchairs.
