History
Iqaluit previously operated bus services in the 1980s, and again during the Arctic Winter Games.
After paying approximately $137 thousand dollars for the service, the city had concluded that if they were to give taxi vouchers to every resident they would save almost $100,000 annually. Iqaluit had a 5-year contract with the R.L. Hanson Construction company to operate the service.
The topic of proving bus service is still considered in Iqaluit, as the city council members discussed it in December 2010.
