Jacinto Marques Launches Bus Service in Iqaluit After Journey from Angola to Canada’s Arctic

Jacinto Marques emigrated from Angola to Canada’s northern frontier. He settled in Iqaluit, the only city within Canada’s Arctic territory. Recognizing a transportation gap, Marques started a local bus service. The service aims to connect residents across the remote community. Iqaluit’s harsh climate and limited infrastructure make travel challenging. Marques’s venture provides a reliable option for daily commuting. The initiative reflects growing demand for public transit in the Arctic. Observers note the project’s potential to improve mobility for northern residents.
