MetroLink Project

A Metro Link Bus preparing to load passengers

In the fall of 2005, Metro Transit introduced a new service for HRM public transit users, MetroLink.

It involves two routes serving downtown Halifax, one from Lower Sackville and one from Cole Harbour.

A new fleet of twenty buses has been purchased that will provide a more comfortable, limited-stop service (three stops) using air-conditioned vehicles with customized seating and space for bicycle storage on the exterior.

The vehicles are low-floor and fully accessible.

The project has a budget of approximately $13.5 million provided by HRM, Transport Canada, the Province of Nova Scotia, and Ecology Action Centre.
