Rare vickykay Posted July 7, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 7, 2011 HI. Just wondering if we can buy tickets in Halifax once we get there or only on-line. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann ns Posted July 7, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 7, 2011 FRED, which was the name of the HoHo bus in Halifax, is not running this year. Really, unless you are disabled there is no need. Most things you will want to see are in the waterfront area or up Spring Garden Road. If you want to visit Citadel Hill and cannot do the uphill climb, you can take a taxi.

maryann ns Posted April 25, 2013 #4 Share Posted April 25, 2013 As far as I know the Big Pink Bus is still running: http://www.ambassatours.com/halifax-big-pink-hop-on-hop-off-tour However unless you are mobility challenged you are better off walking the waterfront and taking a taxi to Citadel Hill if you wish. For some fun and a bit of an overview take the Harbour Hopper. You will see the kiosks on the waterfront boardwalk: http://www.mtcw.ca/harbourhopper/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawnino Posted April 30, 2013 #5 Share Posted April 30, 2013 FRED is dead. The #8 ($2.50...get a transfer, they're good for a couple hours or more to hop on/off) runs every half-hour from the cruise ship port north along Lower Water and loops back south on Hollis with a stop at Scotia Square (Halifax's saddest shopping mall). Get off at Scotia Square if you want to go to the Citadel. Maryann is right... if walking's not an issue, just walk the boardwalk along the harbour. There is some shopping on Spring Garden Road, but nothing outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickT Posted May 22, 2013 #6 Share Posted May 22, 2013 As mentioned, the Harbour Hopper is fun. We are originally from Halifax and have taken it when home to visit family. A fun combination of some of the downtown sites combined with a quick tour of the harbour. You can also look for a harbour boat tour that allows you to see Halifax from the waterfront.
