The City of Kenora is having a tough time finding a new bus for the municipal transit system that fits its budget.
So far, the City has received just one tender for the bus, but it came in way over budget.
Chief Administrative Officer Bill Presentanz says they had only budgeted about 300 thousand dollars for a new bus, but the only estimate they have now is for 420 thousand dollars.
Presentanz says they are still waiting to see if they get a more competitive bid from New Flyer Industries out of Winnipeg, or they could look at purchasing a smaller bus for the transit system.
