Free Rides for All: Town of Yarmouth Removes Transit Fees, Adds More Stops
Thursday, November 14th, 2024 – - Yarmouth, N.S. – The Town of Yarmouth is pleased to announce that as of December 1st, 2024, fares will be removed and transit service will be free for all rid-ers. Also, new stops will soon be added to the route, further improving the service for regular users and encouraging new users to ride the bus.
“Simply put, it’s important that every citizen can travel throughout the Town, and making it free to do so encourages this even further.” Said Yarmouth Mayor, Pam Mood. “For some, especially given the economics of the day, the $2 fee may be a hindrance. That stops now. For others, it will hopefully encourage leaving the car home and lessening our carbon footprint, saving money on fuel and travelling to work, etc. in the manner many others in the world do: transit. We couldn’t be more excited!”
New stop locations and an updated route will be announced next week. The addition of these new stops will see changes made to the route and schedule. The revised route and times will be made available for riders at Yarmouth Town Hall, several retail locations, and online at https://www.townofyarmouth.ca/transit-services.html
