The city has rolled out a draft of what it says is a plan to make Halifax Transit easier to use.
Halifax Transit director, Eddie Robar, said the plan highlights three perspectives: corridor and local routes and the overlay of the link service.
Routes one to 10 are corridor routes, meaning they have the most high-frequency traffic.
“It touches about 175,00 people within 500 metres walking distance of just those 10 routes alone,” said Robar. “So when we look at investing in our high ridership services, those corridor routes show we’re doing that.”
But It’s More than Buses chair, Sean Gillis, said he’d like to see more frequent service for those corridor routes.
“Ten or 15 minute service on some of those routes. Some of those right now they’re proposing half-hour service in mid-day.”
Gillis said some positives of the plan include: better connections to the Halifax Ferry terminal, more link services and fewer overlaps in the system.
