Halifax Transit schedule and route changes – Monday, November 21
The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents that a Halifax Transit service change will take place on Monday, Nov. 21 as part of the Moving Forward Together Plan – Halifax Transit’s long-term plan to better align the transit network with the needs of Halifax residents now and into the future.
The following new route will be implemented:
- Route 50 Dockyard-Shipyard – This route will follow similar routing and levels of service as the former Route 11 Dockyard, traveling from the Bridge Terminal in Dartmouth to HMC Dockyard in Halifax, but will extend to provide a new connection to Halifax Shipyard.
As previously announced due to current staffing shortages, several bus trips are cancelled until further notice. Please note that starting Monday, November 21, some previously cancelled bus trips have returned to service while other routes have newly cancelled trips. These cancellations are done to provide more certainty to passengers and allow them to plan their trip. A full list of cancelled trips can be found on our website.
Halifax Transit is currently running a Bus Operator recruitment campaign to increase staffing resources and resume regular operations as soon as possible. For more information, visit our website.
