Iqaluit Public Transit

Iqaluit Public Transit

Iqaluit Public Transit system operated from 2002 to 2005 to provide public transportation in Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada. Mounting costs and low ridership forced city council to cancel the service in late 2004 and it ceased operations January 2005. [cite web
