Public Transportation in Newfoundland
Hello. I am planning a trip to the French Isles off the coast of Newfoundland. As part of that I'll be flying into St. Johns (unless there is a better gateway), but need to get from there to Fortune to catch the seasonal ferry to France. Is there any way (economically so probably not a taxi 
) to get between St John's and Fortune that doesn't involve renting a car? Thanks!

It would be probably be cheaper to fly from St John's to St Pierre & Miquelon than to get a taxi to Fortune or rent a car. Also, if you're not familiar with the roads and conditions in rural Newfoundland, I'd be a little cautious about driving yourself. I wouldn't advise hitch-hiking - not for safety reasons, but more because you can't afford to miss the ferry, and getting rides all the way to Fortune could be a problem, or at least time-consuming.
