Alderney Ferry Service to be Reduced & Woodside Service Increased during required maintenance program
(Thursday, May 20, 2004) Metro Transit wishes to advise passengers that the Alderney Ferry service will be reduced temporarily to operate on a half- hour frequency, beginning Tuesday, May 25th. The disruption to the Alderney service frequency is expected to continue for a period of approximately two weeks.
In compliance with Transport Canada regulations, ferry maintenance must be carried out on a regular schedule and is now due for one of the three ferry vessels. The timing of the maintenance being carried out will also ensure that the ferry is in peak condition to accommodate the heavy traffic anticipated on the waterfront this summer for Tall Ships and other events.
Metro Transit plans to provide additional service on the Woodside Ferry, as a result of the scheduled Alderney Ferry maintenance. The Woodside Ferry service will be extended to operate on half-hour frequency, weekdays from 6 am through 6 pm, for the duration of the scheduled Alderney Ferry service disruption.
For further Ferry/Bus route and schedule information, please call the HRM Call Centre at 490-4000, between 7:30 am-10 pm, any day of the week.
