There's a flat fare of $1.65 in the Halifax area - exact fare only. If you need to change buses on the same journey, ask for a free transfer ticket at the outset. The ferries that cross Halifax harbour from the downtown terminal to Dartmouth and Woodside are part of the Transit system and apply the same tariff. Free Metro Transit route maps and schedules are available from the International Visitor Information Center.
