Transportation Information

Below are links to find buses going from Halifax International Airport to Antigonish, and to Halifax International Airport from Antigonish (following the conference). Information will be posted on shuttle services as well, so please check back for it.

There are Acadian Lines buses daily to and from the Halifax International Airport. In order to get student rates, students must produce a Student Identification Card from their university or post-secondary institution. Please go here to find out when buses run. (Origin City: Halifax Airport, Destination City: Antigonish)

There are two major cab companies in Antigonish, and cabs around town range from a $4-$5 flat rate for up to 4 passengers. Therefore it is very cheap to get around if you have 3 other people to travel with you!

To give a rough idea of airfare costs (for the purposes of seeking financial support to help subsidize the costs of your trip, for example), the following are the rates as of November 17th, 2002.
