Disclaimer: Third Party Apps
General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) is a common data format for public transportation schedules and related geographic information. Halifax Transit has made both a static and a real-time GTFS feed available to the public, on HRM’s Open Data site.
Several third-party application developers use this data to provide real-time departure information for Halifax Transit services. Visit the GTFS page for a list of third parties that have incorporated the GTFS static and real-time feeds from Halifax Transit.
