'''Halifax''' is the capital city of [[Nova Scotia]], [[Canada]], as well as the largest city in that province and indeed the larger Maritimes region. Halifax proper mainly consists of the old city, located on the Halifax peninsula, as well as nearby western suburbs like Spryfield and Clayton Park just across the isthmus. The Halifax Regional Municipality, however, includes communities like Dartmouth across the harbour, Bedford and Sackville to the north, and many rural communities that are further out and not even served by public transit.
 
== Useful information ==
 
You will probably need to take the bus to get anywhere useful for hitchhiking. As of November 5, 2019, bus fare is $2.75 on most buses, and $4.25 for express buses (such as the bus to the airport). The [https://www.halifax.ca/transportation/halifax-transit Halifax Transit website] is worth consulting for any changes.
== Hitchhiking out ==
=== Going North to Cape Breton, [[New Brunswick]], [[Quebec]], and the rest of Canada ===
Take the #55 Port Wallace bus from the Bridge Terminal in Dartmouth, and get off at the last stop, where it turns around. From herethere, walk straight ahead and to your right and climb up the hill to Highway 118. You want to be on the side closest to the bus stop. There is a good wide place to pull over here and good visibility. A lot of the traffic is going to the airport, but get a lift there anyway, because it will increase the chances that passing cars are going longer distances.  If you are going to Cape Breton, you need to get off near Truro (the next big town, about an hour drive). Tell your driver and they should know where to drop you off, where the 102 meets the 104.Good luck!
