Bridgewater Transit adding longer service hours on Fridays, new Sunday service

Thursday, July 11, 2024 at 6:03 PM

Bridgewater Transit has come a long way since the service was launched as a pilot project back in September of 2017. What started off with two well-used buses, gifted to our community by Halifax Regional Municipality, has become a thriving and critical service to many of Bridgewater’s residents. Now, as we approach the 7th anniversary of Transit service in our community’s 125th anniversary year, the Town of Bridgewater is excited to announce that we’re adding additional hours to the service for at least the next year. Starting this week, Bridgewater Transit’s Friday service will be extended later into the evening by three hours. Previously, transit ran from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Fridays. Moving forward, Friday service will now run from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Transit will also now operate in our community on Sundays, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., beginning this week, providing an entire additional day of service. “Transit in Bridgewater has become a core service and one that directly positively impacts so many of our people,” said Mayor David Mitchell. “Extending hours and the addition of Sunday service will make Bridgewater Transit even more accessible to those who have come to rely on it.”
