Halifax - Fairview Cemetary & Hop On/Off Bus

[mek]

Does anyone know if Fairview Cemetary is a stop on the Hop On/Off Bus. I checked out their website and they have a map with some icons, but I couldn't figure what they are.

No, it does not. The free bus (FRED) only runs through the general downtown are. The Faiview cemetary is outside of the downtown core; I would estimate that it would be a $10-15 cab ride.

Not what I wanted to hear, but thanks for your response.

After reading your response again, I realized you are talking about a free bus, and I am asking about the hop on-off bus that has a cost.

rickb,

 

Will FRED bus be running in late Oct/early November?

 

We used it several years ago and saved a lot of footsteps to get over to the shopping mall and across the highway without having to cut through an office building to do so.

Sorry, I know the one you are referring to but I don't know the route. I would check for you because I work in the downtown area but I am out of town on business this week.
