Strait Area Transit is currently updating our business plan, and we would love to hear your feedback!

After much deliberation, we at Strait Area Transit, have deemed it necessary to adjust our rates in order to keep pace with fuel, maintenance and operating costs. Effective April 11th, 2022, our one-way rate will increase to $7.50.
This change also includes our out of service area, parcel of carriage, accessible taxi (within the Town or Port Hawkesbury), charter and month pass rates. We will be informing all clients at the time of booking of these changes.
This was a tough decision to make, and we understand how it affects our customers. Therefore, we thank you for your ongoing support and trust that these changes will help us continue providing you with inclusive, safe, reliable, and accessible transportation.
As always, we appreciate your local support!
