Tidal Transit Authority

Bus 63 is retiring today!

This ol’ gal is one of four 2004 D40LF New Flyers that came from our friends at Halifax Transit in 2019 (as you might tell from her paint colours). She’s been a dependable and valuable member of our team for many years!

We’ll all miss her comfortable padded seats, that’s for sure!

With new buses on the horizon, goodbyes like this will become more common for our fleet. We’ll work to post updates for Tidal Transit enthusiasts that want to get one last ride with their favourites!

We received the most wonderful and thoughtful gifts from our friends at Landmark East School yesterday! This gorgeous art by William and a pile of delicious cookies made our entire team feel special and appreciated! Thank you so much for the joy you shared with us!

Today was a monumental for Tidal Transit!

$10 million dollars in funding was awarded to the organization on behalf of the Government of Canada ($8M) and the Province of Nova Scotia ($2M) to support the purchase of six new buses through the Rural Transit Solution Fund.

A very special thank you to our Member of Parliament, Kody Blois and Nova Scotia Finance Minister, John Lohr, for their tireless work advocating for and investing in rural communities. Our chair, Kings County Mayor Dave Corkum, provided warm remarks on behalf of the Valley Regional Services board following the announcement.
