Halifax (YHZ): route 320, the Fall River regional express
Halifax Transit route 320 is the airport bus. It stops on Silver Dart Drive and runs to downtown via the bridge terminal, 05:05 to 00:17.
- Route 320, Airport to Fall River Regional Express, is the only public transport at YHZ.
- It runs 05:05 to 00:17, so it covers most first departures and most late arrivals.
- The two headsigns are 320 AIRPORT VIA FALL RIVER and 320 DOWNTOWN HFX VIA BRIDGE TERM, which tells you the direction at a glance.
- The stop is Silver Dart Dr At Halifax Airport, on the terminal road.
- About 460 scheduled calls appear in the published timetable, so it is a real timetabled service rather than a handful of trips.
- Bridge Terminal is the interchange on the Dartmouth side, where you connect to the rest of the network and to the ferry.
- The airport is roughly 35 km north of downtown Halifax, near Enfield, so this is a long ride rather than a hop.
- Fall River is the community the route detours through, which is why the journey is not a straight run.

Reading the headsign
- 320 AIRPORT VIA FALL RIVER is the outbound direction, from the city to the airport.
- 320 DOWNTOWN HFX VIA BRIDGE TERM is the direction you want on arrival.
- Bridge Terminal is on the Dartmouth side of the harbour and is the main interchange. From there you have the ferry and the bulk of the network.
The distance
- Halifax Stanfield is about 35 km north of downtown, out towards Enfield. That is far even by North American standards.
- The route detours through Fall River, a commuter community on the way, so the run is not direct.
- Budget properly for it. This is not a fifteen minute connection.
Other stops nearby
- Barnes Drive carries several stops within a kilometre of the terminal, at civic numbers 573, 619 and 677 and after Red Wing Drive. Those serve the airport business area rather than the terminal.
If the 320 does not fit
- Taxi and ride-hail are available at the terminal, and given the distance they are expensive.
- Shared shuttles serve the hotels, and rental cars are the default for anyone touring Nova Scotia.
