Halifax Transit 2018-19 Snow Plan
In the event of inclement weather, several of Halifax Transit's bus routes are put on 'snow plan'. The objective of this plan is to maintain service levels and minimize interruptions to service by re-routing buses around areas consistently known as 'trouble sections' on a route during a winter weather event. Halifax Transit apologizes to riders inconvenienced by routes having to go on snow plan, however, the safety of our passengers and employees is paramount when making these decisions.
To find out if your preferred route is on snow plan, follow @hfxtransit on Twitter or call 311.
