Daytrips by Bus – Downtown Halifax (Route #1)

August 16, 2012 The Local Traveler

Bus Route #1 or: “The Core Route” The #1 is @hfxtransit's most used bus, going from Mumford Terminal at the west end of the peninsula, through Scotia Square Terminal on Barrington Street and across the MacDonald Bridge to the Bridge Terminal in Dartmouth and back. The 1 is also the most frequent route, coming every…Read More

Bus Route #20 – Herring Cove

July 30, 2012 The Local Traveler

Or: The ‘Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover’ Route Similar to the #80 bus route, the #20 is a heavily used commuter route for people going to work on the peninsula, but maybe not so well used for heading in the opposite direction to do some exploring. We even live along the route, and…Read More

June 27, 2012 The Local Traveler

Or: The Route of Bests So far we’ve covered four routes, the #15, the #60, the #21 and the #80 that will take you in four completely different directions in HRM.

For our third post on day-trips and vacation spots in HRM accessible by bus (and bike!), we'll take you for a ride on the #21. We were originally thinking of doing a post combining routes #21, #22 and #23 to cover all the lakes you can get to along St. Margaret’s Bay Road. Then we…Read More

Bus Route #60 – Eastern Passage

May 23, 2012 The Local Traveler

Welcome to our second installment of day-trips and vacation spots in HRM accessible by bus (and bike!). Today we'll chronicle the #60 Bus Route to Eastern Passage. Note for cyclists: We’ve added distances from the Bridge Terminal in brackets next to each location. The trip is pretty flat for the most part, with sparse bike…Read More

Bus Route #15 – Purcell’s Cove

May 20, 2012 The Local Traveler

Riding the Metro Transit one day, we noticed an HRM ad that pictured three walking trails that could be reached by bus. We thought this was a brilliant idea (props to @hfxtransit) and have been inspired to take it one step further with a series of posts on all the cool HRM sites that can…Read More
