About this buyer
Read more
Municipal government for the Halifax region. Halifax Transit operates buses and the Halifax Harbour ferries — the municipality runs no rail transit itself. The Regional Transportation Plan (released 6 August 2025) commits $65 million to a new Mill Cove ferry service and sets out a forthcoming request-for-proposals for a passenger-rail feasibility study, not yet issued in the window checked. Halifax Transit receives more than $55 million over ten years in federal baseline funding under the Canada Public Transit Fund (confirmed March 2025), which co-funds bus service and infrastructure, not rail. HRM's Rapid Transit Strategy has studied commuter rail on CN's Bedford subdivision between Halifax and outlying stations in prior planning cycles, without a committed rail project or procurement following.
