Transit changes coming soon to Moncton and Dieppe
Transit riders in Moncton and Dieppe will soon see updates to their bus routes as Codiac Transpo prepares to introduce a series of service changes across the tri‑community network.
The City of Moncton said the adjustments are intended to improve efficiency and give riders more reliable options throughout the day.
Several Moncton routes will be modified, including changes to Hildegard, Edinburgh and Caledonia.
The 62 Hildegard route will extend to the YMCA Moncton North through Twin Oaks before looping at the Ryan Street traffic circle, according to the city.
The 67 Edinburgh route will add two afternoon trips, while the 66 Caledonia route will shift its afternoon service to include Pine Tree before continuing to the Caledonia Industrial Park.
Codiac Transpo said all routes across Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview will now be fully accessible.
The release also outlines several updates specific to Dieppe that build on the city’s previously announced network redesign.

Service in Dieppe will increase by about 300 hours each week with the introduction of four new routes – 94A Centrale, 96 Orange, 96A Orange and 98 Chartersville.
As part of the redesign, the 95 Amirault route will be discontinued.
The city said 93 Champlain, 94 Centrale and 96 Orange will operate in both directions to give riders more convenient travel options.
The new 98 Chartersville route will run as a loop, with one bus serving the Lorette area before arriving at the Aquatic Hub and continuing west. A second transfer hub has also been added on Aquatique Street.
Printed schedules will be available on board for riders who prefer paper copies.
The full set of changes will take effect on Aug. 23.
