Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) is announcing some service disruptions that will impact Halifax Transit ferry service moving forward.

The Woodside ferry will be operating on a 30 minute schedule on weekdays until further notice due to “unforeseen maintenance issues”.

That’s on top of the reductions that already have the Alderney ferry on a 30 minute schedule right now.

There’s no timeframe being offered for when full service might resume, but HRM did say the reduction was temporary.
