Bus stops, taxi zones revert back to pre-strike restrictions

(March 14, 2012) – Flexibility for parking at bus stops and taxi zone restrictions permitted during the transit strike will be discontinued now that the strike has ended.

Bus stops in the Downtown and Spring Garden business districts where parking had been allowed during the strike will revert to no parking zones as of midnight tonight in preparation for Metro Transit service restoration on Friday. All marked bus stops and taxi zones are considered no parking zones. Motorists in violation will be ticketed.

In addition, HRM zone restrictions for taxi drivers that had been relaxed during the strike will be reinstated effective immediately.
