UPass
 UPass valid until April 30/12
Students are reminded that transit UPasses are only valid from September to April 30 of the academic year.
While the student identification card may still be in effect, it can no longer be used on Metro Transit buses and ferries.
For further information, contact the university’s UPass representative.

Conditions of Use
UPass corresponds to the Metro Transit $70 MetroPass, which includes conventional, ferry and access-a-bus transit services. Additional fare applies when traveling on MetroLink ($0.50) and MetroX ($1.00).
-----
Metro Transit is pleased to partner with local universities and colleges to provide a transit UPass, giving full-time students unlimited access to regular transit services during the academic year (September to April).
Why UPass?
Save Money - Students using the UPass instead of buying monthly Student MetroPasses can save approximately $38 per month!
Convenience - Metro Transit has enhanced its service to Saint Mary's University, Dalhousie University, the University of King's College & Mount Saint Vincent University to accommodate the increase in ridership since the introduction of the UPass. NSCAD is already centrally located in downtown Halifax, where students can take advantage of existing transit services.
Car owners save money too - The UPass can help you reduce your fuel, parking, insurance and maintenance expenses. Plus, you can let someone else worry about the traffic.
Good for the Environment - Choosing public transit instead of driving your own car reduces air pollution. One bus can help remove up to 50 cars from the road at any point in time, reducing air pollution by 15-20 %.
For more information on bus routes, call 311 or visit the Schedules and Maps section of the website.
Access-A-Bus and UPass
University students with disabilities who use the Access-A-Bus are eligible to use the UPass, although they may choose to withdraw from the UPass program if they wish.
For more information, contact your student association. Students with a CNIB pass may also opt out of the UPass program, visit your Student Union to do so.
