Transfers

Paper Transfers
Paper transfers are valid for up to 90 minutes after the end of the route and may be used travelling inbound or outbound on any route or service. Punch marks are used to specify the issue date and torn off to indicate the transfer’s expiration time. Ask the Operator for a transfer upon boarding and paying for the bus or ferry. 

HFXGO Transfers
Once activated, use the same HFXGO mobile ticket or pass to transfer to another bus or ferry route. HFXGO tickets are valid for 150 minutes (2.5 hours) from activation.
