(Staff photo) The Saint John Transit Commission did not get prior approval to end the Hampton Comex service, according to the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board (EUB). Saint John Transit scrapped the weekday bus service to Hampton effective Jan. 1 after councillors in the town Marc Dionne, general manager of the commission, wrote to the EUB on Jan. 7 — several days after the service ended — and requested that its license be modified to reflect the change. In her reply to the commission on Jan. 12, chief clerk Kathleen Mitchell said the service can only be discontinued once the board issues an order following a hearing.
