I am glad NB has its population more evenly distributed across several cities than NS does. Having such a large portion of the population concentrated in a single city is problematic both logistically and politically.

It should be easy to get between Saint John and Yarmouth, but isn’t really unless you take your car with you on the Digby Ferry. I prefer to take the scenic route to Halifax via Yarmouth and and South Shore, but the ferry is still pretty expensive, even after the fares were slashed in half.
I really think it’s a shame there’s not a bus onwards to Yarmouth and Halifax from Digby… even if it was just a seasonal bus. Our governments spend all that money keeping those ferries operating, and now have further subsidized them, but they can’t subsidize a bus service between Digby, Yarmouth, and Halifax?
