St John's (YYT): route 14 stops near arrivals
Metrobus route 14 serves a stop called Airport near Arrivals, running 06:40 to 22:12 between Torbay Road, Majors Path and Memorial University.
- The stop is called Airport near Arrivals, which is as clear a name as you will find.
- Route 14, Airport Hts-Torbay Rd-MUN, is the service: about 285 scheduled calls, 06:40 to 22:12.
- The headsigns are TORBAY RD - MAJORS PATH - AIRPORT and MAJORS PATH - TORBAY RD - MUN CENTRE.
- MUN is Memorial University of Newfoundland, and its centre is a main interchange on the Metrobus network.
- Route 24, Airport Hts Express, also appears but with only a couple of trips, signed MUN EXPRESS.
- Nothing runs before 06:40 or after about 22:15, so early departures and late arrivals need a taxi.
- A stop on World Parkway sits about 680 metres away, before Navigator Avenue.
- Downtown St John's is about 8 km south-east, past the airport heights neighbourhood the route is named for.
The route
- Metrobus route 14, Airport Hts-Torbay Rd-MUN, is the only bus at the airport. It calls at Airport near Arrivals.
- It runs 06:40 to 22:12, about 285 scheduled calls.
- The two headsigns tell you the loop: TORBAY RD - MAJORS PATH - AIRPORT going out, and MAJORS PATH - TORBAY RD - MUN CENTRE coming back.
- Route 24, Airport Hts Express, exists in the timetable but with two trips, signed MUN EXPRESS. Do not plan around it.
The gaps
- Nothing before 06:40. St John's has early transatlantic and mainland departures that the bus does not reach.
- Nothing after about 22:15, and flights from Toronto and Halifax land later than that.
- Taxis wait at the terminal and the ride into town is short.
Where the buses go
- MUN Centre, at Memorial University, is the interchange for the rest of the network.
- Torbay Road is the corridor south towards the city.
- Majors Path links across to the Outer Ring Road.
The city
- Downtown St John's is about 8 km from the airport, down through the Airport Heights neighbourhood.
- Signal Hill, the harbour and Water Street are the reasons most people are here, and they are all in the downtown core.
- The airport is often called Torbay after the community it borders, particularly by older locals.
