How to get to Truro from Halifax airport

By shuttle bus

Maritime Bus

An inexpensive option to travel to Truro is to take the Maritime bus. Tickets are approximately $15 CAD one-way (cheaper with student ID) but must be pre-purchased prior to travel. Book and purchase online or at the Ground Transportation Booth at the airport (located near the arrivals lounge).

The shuttle leaves the airport daily between 8 a.m. and 4:50 p.m. (visit their website for later pick-ups on Fridays and Sundays from September to May).

The journey takes approximately one hour to Truro (drops you off at Maritime bus Truro terminal - 280 Willow Street) and then you may want to take a taxi to campus, which takes an additional 10 minutes (or a 42 minute walk).

To book your ticket or to find out more information, visit the Maritime Bus website.
