What the ride from Halifax Stanfield Airport costs

This page gives the amounts that are published by the airport or a regional tourism body, with their dates, and explains how each other option is priced instead of quoting figures we cannot source.

Price by transport type

Regional Express 320 bus: the airport page lists cash fares of CAD 4.75 for adults and students, CAD 3.25 for seniors and children, and free travel for children aged 0 to 12. Cash on board needs exact change. The same page mentions the HFXGO fare system. Tickets can be bought at the Ground Transportation Booth in Arrivals, which the airport lists as available 24/7.

Taxi: the airport page we checked does not publish a taxi fare. Ask at the Ground Transportation booth how the fare is worked out and confirm the amount before you get in.

Rideshare: the fare is shown in the app before you confirm and varies with demand and time of day.

Intercity coach: the tourism page says the rate depends on the drop-off location. The operator sets the fare, so check its current timetable and price.

Pre-booked transfer: a fixed price quoted at booking, shown as the live quote on this page. Confirm what is included.

What affects the price

Destination: the city, Dartmouth and Bedford are very different from Truro, Wolfville, Lunenburg or Annapolis Royal. We have no verified distance or duration for this airport, so we do not quote kilometres. Use a map app to see your own route.

Time of day and traffic: app fares and journey times change with demand and with traffic.

Vehicle size: a larger group or more luggage may need a larger vehicle.

Waiting and extras: ask whether waiting time, tolls or extra stops are included before you agree a fare.

How to compare

Convert each option to a total for your whole party, not a per-person figure. The 320 charges per passenger, while a taxi or transfer price covers the vehicle. For one adult travelling light, the bus will cost the least in cash terms; for three or four people with bags, the comparison changes, and time and effort count too.

Bottom line

Fares for the 320 are published by the airport. A curbside taxi quote starts from a figure that is dated and may have changed. The clearest way to know the price in advance for your own destination is a pre-booked transfer; use the live quote on this page.
