Halifax Transit 505-507

Halifax Transit 505-507 were New Flyer D30LF buses built in 1999. These buses were the only 30 foot buses ever ordered by Halifax/Metro Transit, and were used exclusively on Community Transit routes 400 Beaver Bank and 401 Porters Lake.

Originally delivered with Luminator Super Matrix:MAX flipdot destination signs, they were later retrofitted with Horizon LED signs.

With the arrival of 69 Nova LFS buses in 2017, the last of this series was retired.
