The Halifax Regional Municipality has announced that its transit service will significantly reduce capacity over the Easter long weekend as it continues to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The changes will affect Halifax Transit’s ferry and bus service and residents are being asked to only use the service for essential travel.
Those who feel sick should not use any transit until their health returns to normal. Halifax Transit says that capacity on its ferry service will be reduced to 25 passengers per trip in order to promote physical distancing.
