Car-rental agencies are located at the airport, and a shuttle serves the major hotels in the city.
Taxis also provide transportation into Halifax.
VIA Rail connects Halifax to Montreal with connections to other points in Canada. Ferry service is available to and from Dartmouth, with boats leaving from the terminal at Historic Properties. Taxis and public buses provide transportation within the city, but the bus system can be somewhat confusing to use. Walking is a good way to get around the central city, however, and a system of walkways connects many of the downtown buildings, permitting visitors to stay out of the weather when necessary.
