Metro Transit announces the latest round of route adjustments. Here's the scoop.
With the introduction of a new Larry Uteck route, we've seen the first route number in the 90's. The route 90 Larry Uteck travels from Larry Uteck Blvd to Downtown Halifax. However, some stops in Bayers Lake are being discontinued and moved further away from retail stores. This is an issue Metro Transit says is operational due to them servicing stops on private property. Details are below, tell us your thoughts.
