OPTion 2 – Public Transportation
Public transit plays a vital role in the daily commute for many QEII staff. It’s also an important part of the solution as we work together to make the most of our parking disruptions.
​
The Halifax Transit EPass is an annual renewable plastic bus pass with the user's picture on the front. The Epass can be used for buses, ferries, Express & Regional Express routes.
​
Through the OPT Program, Halifax Transit EPasses are available to QEII staff at a highly discounted rate of $49 per month, paid through payroll deductions or Pre-authorized Debit (PAD) payments.
​
Epass users receive five free taxi vouchers from Halifax Transit's Guaranteed Ride Home Program to get home from work throughout the year in case of a personal/family emergency or illness, overtime, or if their carpool partner is unavailable.
