- MetroX Route 320 is the only public transit connection between the airport and Halifax, and the most affordable option. It is an express bus service to downtown Halifax with only two intermediate stops in Fall River and Dartmouth (Bridge Terminal). The total journey time is 55 minutes and the fare is $4.75 one-way ($1.50 with paper ticket, monthly pass, or UPass). They sell paper tickets (payment by card) at the green transport kiosk at the north end of the terminal. Payments options include paper tickets/physical passes, cash, or Halifax Transit's digital fare payment system HFXGO. Buses will accept cash, but be aware that they do not provide change, and the ATMs at the airport will typically not offer denominations below $20. You may have luck changing money when buying something at one of the shops in the departures hall or in the Lost&Found / Security Office near the exit leading to the bus stop (limited opening times). It runs on 30-minute frequencies on-peak and 60 minutes off-peak, with the first departure from the airport at 5:45AM and the last 12:15AM.
