The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents that several Halifax Transit service changes will take place Monday, Nov. 27 as part of the Moving Forward Together Plan.
These service changes will impact the following routes:
- Route 19 Greystone & Route 20 Herring Cove: These routes will be combined into the new Route 9 Herring Cove connecting downtown and Spryfield, with branches to Greystone and Herring Cove. Find more information on branching routes or watch a quick video on the new Route 9 branches here: https://www.halifax.ca/transportation/halifax-transit/service-adjustments
- Route 6 Quinpool: This route will be discontinued. Riders affected by these changes may wish to consider one of the following options: Route 14 Leiblin Park, 22 Armdale, 32 Cowie Hill Express, or the new Route 9 Herring Cove.
