Halifax-Dartmouth Ferry Service, Public ferry service in Halifax Harbor, Canada
Halifax Transit operates two ferry routes connecting downtown Halifax to Alderney Landing and Woodside terminals across Halifax Harbor throughout the day.
The Halifax-Dartmouth Ferry Service began in 1752 when John Connor received a contract renewal, establishing North America's oldest saltwater ferry operation.
The fleet includes vessels named after significant Canadian figures, including Rita Joe, Vincent Coleman, Viola Desmond, Craig Blake, and Christopher Stannix.
Passengers can use transfers valid for 90 minutes across both ferry and bus services, with departures every 15 minutes during peak hours.
Five modern vessels transport over 3,000 daily commuters across Halifax Harbor, integrating with the city's broader public transportation network.
