Introducing MetroX Commuter Transit Service to Tantallon!
Our new MetroX service, designed with the weekday commuter in mind, brings express transit to Park & Ride lots along 100-series highways within HRM, began with service to Tantallon in September 2009.
The MetroX buses are different than standard city buses; specifically built and designed with comfortable seats and air conditioning. One wheelchair can be accommodated by a lift at the rear of the bus.
A free designated Park & Ride lot at the Hubley Center can accommodate up to 185 vehicles.
While MetroX provides its passengers with a worry-free and comfortable commute downtown, MetroX is also a great way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Riding your bike to the MetroX station may be an option as well. Each MetroX station will feature bike racks, with bike lanes available near each station. Every MetroX bus will also be equipped with a bike rack.

MetroX fares reflect the premium service, with direct, limited-stop service to the downtown core.
