I would like to travel from Halifax to USA by bus or by train. Is there any bus or train company operating from Nova Scotia to USA?
Thanks
Greg

Halifax is at the end of the tracks. You have to go inland into Canada first, before you are able to cross the border by train.

I know you asked about a bus or train from Halifax to USA but are you aware that there is a ferry going from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia to Bar Harbor Maine? When we were in Bar Harbor the ferry terminal was close to the motel we were staying in. A couple in our motel were taking this ferry to Nova Scotia. Just a thought.

The fast ferry is called "The Cat". It's a three hour trip from Yarmouth to Bar Harbor.

Thanks. The ferry could be a very good choice. I like sea traveling.

VIA Rail connects passengers to the rest of Canada, as well as into the Amtrak system in the US, at various points. VIA Rail (902-494-7900) has three stops in the province, entering from New Brunswick with its first stop at Amherst, another stop at Truro, and ending at Halifax's CN Station at Barrington & Cornwallis Streets. Also great Ferry system with fast ferries into Bar harbor Maine.
