Would you take the bus to Bell Island? Metro-area mayors want your input

Several communities along Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula coast are banding together to explore creating their own public transit system. The municipalities that make up the Killick Coast — Torbay, Bauline, Flatrock, Bell Island, Pouch Cove, Portugal Cove–St. Philip's, and Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove — have launched a feasibility study into the proposed project. "The main focus is going to be about connecting our communities together in this area," Torbay Mayor Craig Scott told CBC. Scott says residents of his town have historically expressed interest in a public transit system. The town even explored joining the Metrobus system, which serves St. John's, Mount Pearl and Paradise areas, but that didn't make financial sense at the time. Scott says Torbay is now exploring a public transit system in tandem with the metro-area municipalities, however. "It has to be a partnership between everyone if it's going to work," he said. But a project of that size, he adds, requires public input about what people are willing to pay and what routes they're interested in having. There's an online survey available for people to fill out and copies in participating town offices, he said, as well as upcoming public information sessions. "It's crucial that we understand exactly what type of system that our residents need. This is not meant to be something that's gonna probably bring people back and forth to work. It's more about connecting our communities together and connecting us to the City of St. John's Metrobus system," said Scott. He added the feedback they get will also influence how long it could take to roll out a public transit system. "The stronger the case we have, and the interest that we have from residents, the more likely that that will move forward quickly," he said.

Air Canada's quarterly profit falls on weak U.S. travel demand

An Air Canada jet takes off from Trudeau Airport in Montreal, Thursday, June 30, 2022. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Graham Hughes Air Canada reported a drop in second-quarter profit on Monday, weighed down by weak passenger traffic to its key U.S. market amid strained trade relations between the two countries. Canadians are increasingly boycotting U.S.-made goods and canceling trips to the United States following President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada and his controversial remarks suggesting the country should be annexed. The travel slowdown became pronounced during the summer season, typically the most lucrative period for carriers. For the third quarter of 2025, the carrier plans to increase its available seat miles (ASM) capacity between 3.25 and 3.75 per cent from the same period last year. Canada's largest carrier reported a profit of C$0.60 per share during the second quarter, compared with C$0.98 per share a year ago. Air Canada's total operating revenue was C$5.63 billion for the quarter ended June, compared with C$5.52 billion a year ago.
