Codiac Transpo is the urban transit service of the City of Moncton, operated on behalf of Moncton, the City of Dieppe and the Town of Riverview in New Brunswick, Canada.[2] The transit system provides express and local bus service for the residents of the Greater Moncton area and charter service throughout the southeastern area of the province. Maritime-wide bus service is provided by Maritime Bus.

Services

Codiac Transit offers free wireless Internet on all its buses.[3] Initially, four buses on the Express route were equipped with onboard broadband Internet and marked with lime green Wi-Fi signage. Wi-Fi access was later expanded to the entire fleet. Codiac Transpo also operates a real-time bus location tracking system, allowing customers to determine bus wait times.[4]
