MetroLink is a limited-stop, direct, fully-accessible commuting option. Delivering premium service at a premium price, MetroLink's interior includes carpeted walls and ceiling for sound-dampening and custom-upholstered high-back seats with arm and foot rests. Heated in the winter and air-conditioned in the summer, this advertising-free zone offers comfort and plenty of room to relax and enjoy your commute.

 Park & Ride the Link!
Parking in a public lot in downtown Halifax – if you can find a spot – costs as much as $200 per month. Commuting with MetroLink costs only $75 per month (adult fare). Plus, think of the money you’d save on gas and maintenance!
AMetroLink offers free Park & Ride lots, too! The Portland Hills Terminal lot accomodates 270 cars, and the Sackville Terminal accomodates 175 parking spaces.
For more information on Park & Ride, visit the Park & Ride section of the website.
