Halifax Transit bus route changes take effect Monday

By Meghan Groff

Halifax Transit users who normally take routes 6, 9, 19, 20, 22 or 370 will notice some changes as of Monday.

Service adjustments have been made to those routes as part of the Moving Forward Together Plan.

Route 6 Quinpool has been discontinued, Halifax Transit recommends the following options:

  • St. Margarets Bay Road or beyond: the Route 14 Leiblin Park, 22 Armdale, 32 Cowie Hill Express, or the new Route 9 Herring Cove

  • Joseph Howe Road or Mumford Road: Route 14 Leiblin Park, or one of many routes from Mumford Terminal including the new Route 9 Herring Cove

  • Quinpool Road west of Connaught Avenue: the 32 Cowie Hill Express or to walk beyond the rotary or Connaught Avenue for the new Route 9 Herring Cove

  • Quinpool Road east of Connaught Avenue: the new Route 9 Herring Cove or routes on Oxford Street or Robie Street

Route 9 Barrington is now the new Route 29 Barrington, which Halifax Transit says offers more frequent service to more locations, including the Halifax Ferry Terminal and the Bayers Road Centre.

Routes 19 and 20 have been combined to make up the new Route 9, connecting Spryfield ro downtown. 9A branches off to Greystone Drive, returns to Herring Cove Road and goes as far as Fotherby Avenue before heading back onto the peninsula. 9B goes further down Herring Cove Road to Ketch Harbour Road, then loops back around Lancaster Drive, St Pauls Avenue and Hebridean Drive.

Route 22 Armdale now no longer services Exhibition Park, Halifax Transit recommends the Mumford Terminal park and ride as an alternative.
