FRED, the free shuttle bus, transports residents and visitors around the Downtown. FRED runs from July to the end of October, seven days a week from 10:30am to 5:30pm.

 

Arguably the most popular program the DHBC operates is Fred the Bus. FRED is an acronym for Free Rides Everywhere Downtown. This program is run in partnership with Metro Transit. This free shuttle makes getting around Downtown easy and encourages people to get out, see more and do more Downtown. FRED also boasts on board visitor commentary provided by the DHBC Enviro Team members. FRED operates seven days each week and transported approximately 40,000 passengers last summer. This year other gracious sponsors of FRED the Bus without whom this program would not be possible are: Alexander Keith’s Brewery, Barrington Place Shops, Bishop’s Landing, Casino Nova Scotia, CTV, the Halifax Citadel, HRM, Kool FM, Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, Park Lane Mall, Pier 21, Scotia Square and Spring Garden Area Business Association.

 

The Route

 

From Pier 21 Fred runs along Lower Water Street to Ferry Boat Lane, past Historic Properties to the Casino. Fred then heads up to Barrington Street to Spring Garden Road to Brunswick and then up Sackville Street up and throughout the Halifax Citadel, turning right continuing on Sackville Street. Fred turns left on South Park Street past the Public Gardens and then down Spring Garden Road to Barrington Street. Fred follows Barrington Street until Cornwallis Park and turns passing the Superstore, the Via Rail Station and the Westin Hotel before proceeding back to Pier 21.
