By Bus in Halifax

By Bus

Because of conflicting schedules, getting to Nova Scotia by bus can be problematic. Greyhound Lines from New York and Montréal, connect with Acadian through New Brunswick. Acadian also provides service between urban centers within Nova Scotia. Airbus runs between the Halifax International Airport and major hotels in Halifax and Dartmouth. Shuttle van services with convenient transportation between Halifax and Sydney include Cape Shuttle Service and Scotia Shuttle Service.

There are a number of small, regional bus services; however, connections are not always convenient. Outside of Halifax there are no inner-city bus services. For information, call Nova Scotia Tourism.

Metro Transit provides bus service throughout Halifax and Dartmouth, the town of Bedford, and (to an increasingly broader extent) the outlying areas around Halifax. The fare is $2; only exact change is accepted.
