The MSVU Students’ Union, in partnership with Mount Saint Vincent University (MSVU) and Halifax Transit introduced the UPass for Mount Saint Vincent University students in the fall of 2007. This decision was reconfirmed in November of 2010 when students overwhelmingly voted in favor of continuing with the UPass program at MSVU in a student referendum.

The University’s agreement with Halifax Transit gives all eligible MSVU students unlimited and affordable access to all Metro Transit Bus (with some limited exclusions and fare conditions), Ferry and Access-A-Bus (for registered users) services from September 1 to April 30. Because of the nature of the program and in order to make it feasible, it had to be a mandatory program for all full-time students (with a few minimal exceptions). While we recognize that some students may see limited benefit from the program but will still be required to pay the UPass fee, it was felt that overall this is an excellent program for the majority of students.

If you live outside of the metro area and have a vehicle, we encourage you to use the Park & Ride locations to take advantage of your UPass. For a listing of Park & Ride locations, click here:
