Late bus? There's work going on with both bridges & at the Windsor Street Exchange, lasting months, which is impacting buses all over.. Please don't take your frustration out on your driver! They're missing breaks & trying to stay on time. #halifax #hfxtransit #hrm #hfxtraffic

Paid holidays? Vacation? Overtime? Health benefits? Workplace safety? Thank a union. Workers organized, sacrificed, fought. And generations of workers are better off because they did. Unions built the middle class—and the fight continues. #LabourDay #UnionStrong #WorkersRights #ATU508 #Halifax

Happy Labour Day from ATU Local 508! ✊🚍 When you enjoy a weekend off, paid vacation, overtime pay, workplace safety protections, pensions and benefits, remember: many of these standards were fought for by unionized workers. Today, we celebrate the labour movement and the workers who built a better workplace for everyone. #LabourDay #Unions #WorkersRights #ATU508 #Halifax

#bustips When you see your bus coming, pls exit the shelter so the driver sees you & can safely slow & stop. Staying in the shelter says you're waiting on another route. Stopping at each stop when people don't wish to board, slows us down & makes us later, for you & everyone #Halifax #hfxtransit

A bus without working A/C is a health and safety issue for passengers and operators. Don't assume someone else will report it. **Call 311 every single time you ride a bus with no A/C. Report the bus number on the front—not the route number.** Every call demands accountability. #HeatWave #bustips #Halifax #HfxTransit

A bus without working A/C is a health and safety concern for both passengers and operators. If you ride one, call 311 and report the **bus number** (on the front of the bus), not the route number. Every report helps ensure the issue gets attention. #HalifaxTransit #Halifax #NS #Transit #HfxTransit #bustips #safety

🥵 Help your bus chill out! 😎 Every open window lets the A/C escape. Once they're closed, it can take quite a while to cool such a big bus again. Keep the windows shut and let the cold air do its job! 🚌❄️ #HalifaxTransit #Halifax #KeepCool #HeatWave #HfxTransit #bustips

🌬️ Hot tip! Our A/C isn't trying to cool all of Halifax. 😄 Keep the bus windows closed so the cool air stays where it belongs! Bonus tip: the back seats sit over the engine, so they're the warmest seats onboard. Save them for winter! 🚌❄️ #bustips #HfxTransit #Halifax #heatwave #HalifaxTransit

National Indigenous History Month is a time to honour the rich cultures, traditions & contributions of First Nations, Inuit & Métis Peoples. By listening, learning, and celebrating together, we help build understanding, respect & a stronger future for all. #Halifax #NIHM26 #HRM

Happy Pride! Let's keep building a union and city where all our members can thrive. 🌟 #PrideMonth #ATU508 #HalifaxTransit #2SLGBTQIA+

The historic 1st Halifax Pride march was July 1988 to protest local discrimination, —the Halifax Pride Festival—is traditionally held in mid-to-late July. Celebrating in June acts as the perfect start for provincial events to come! #HalifaxPride #NovaSPride #LoveisLove
