Transit passes

Experience transportation convenience, reliability, and flexibility

Dalhousie's Halifax campuses have two types of transit passes:

Student U-Pass Employee Transit Pass (XPass)

Student U-Pass

The student U-Pass allows students to use the Halifax Transit system every day, all year long. The program is convenient, reliable, and flexible. Even if you don't use your U-Pass regularly, it comes in handy for short trips to and from downtown or around HRM. If the weather turns and you don't feel like driving, why not catch a bus or ferry to your destination?

The UPass is available during the eight-month academic year and to Dalhousie students studying full time in the summer months (May-September) and is part of student fees. The UPass program is mandatory for full-time students and automatically added to your account. Details on rates, eligibility, and how to sign up or opt-out can be found on the U-Pass website.
