Halifax Transit Service Enhancements

USPA NEWS - Halifax Transit will implement several service modifications commencing Monday, May 18, 2026. These include routing and scheduling adjustments on multiple bus routes to support the upcoming construction of the Bayers Road Transit terminal. This information is the summation of the media release by Halifax Transit.

Route modifications Routes 1, 8, 192, 194, 196, and outbound trips on Route 330 will be revised due to construction related to Phase 2 of the Bayers Road Transit Priority Corridor project. Consequently, bus stops along Bayers Road, between Connaught Avenue and Windsor Street, will not be serviced during construction. Temporary stops will be established along Connaught Avenue, Almon Street, and Windsor Street.

These routing changes are anticipated to remain in effect for approximately two years during the construction period. Learn more about this project at: halifax.ca/bayersroad

Route 29 will continue to operate on a long-term detour due to the Tower Road bridge closure. Route maps and stop announcements have been updated to reflect this detour, which is expected to remain in place until approximately December 2026.

Schedule adjustments, service updates, and minor schedule modifications will be implemented on Routes 51A and 64 to enhance operational efficiency and connections with other routes. Routes 4 and 90 will also undergo minor timepoint adjustments. Printed materials and route information as of May 18, 2026, will be discontinued, and the production of printed riders’ guides and route maps. Customers can access printable schedules and individual route maps online at: halifax.ca/transit
