Getting Around Halifax

Why go

Halifax Transit operates buses and ferries, making the harbour part of the transport network as well as the view. For a visit focused on downtown, compare distances between your actual stops before hiring a car. Driving becomes a different proposition when your plans extend beyond the central area into the surrounding region.

Useful to know

• Use Halifax Transit’s journey planner for both outward and return trips, especially when combining buses with a ferry.
• Check current fare and transfer rules before a bus-and-ferry journey; do not assume every service uses the same ticket.
• Arrange a taxi pickup when you need one at a specific place; street hailing can be difficult in parts of Halifax.
