The student U-Pass bequeathed to each Dalhousie citizen is more than a quick way to get between home, school, work and nourishment. You hold in your hands a world of cheap and easy city-trotting travel, your key to swimming, hiking and exploration on a dime.
Those patient enough to ride the #20 Herring Cove to the end of the line will reach York Redoubt National Historic Site, the remains of a 200-year-old fortress overlooking the mouth of Halifax harbour.
Dartmouth isn’t as scary as the unenlightened would have you believe. The #54 Montebello will get you to HRM’s only H&M at Mic Mac Mall, but it also passes by Birch Cove Beach, a public park on Lake Banook where you can swim out the last of the summer heat.
If you’ve really been bitten by the travel bug, the #320 Airport will get you from downtown Halifax to the gate of your departing flight at Stanfield International.
