It makes zero sense to me why the #7 bus – a bus servicing the downtown core – does not run past midnight on a Friday night. —Pedestrian Stranded in a Storm

I agree! And same with the Ferries, especially with the MacDonald bridge closed on the weekend. What would be a $20 cab home runs me over $40 now. a $2.50 ferry across and then a $10 cab home would encourage me to visit our dying downtown more often on the weekend!
I hear all this complaining from local businesses, like the Carleton, and yet HRM is not doing much to help out, like adjust weekend transit!
You’re in Halifax, not in the fucking Sahara! Walk.
I used to take the #7 late at night for years. There were hardly any passengers at that time of night, poster. More often than not, I was the only person on the bus. There’s a perfectly good reason why it doesn’t run after midnight. It’s not worth the gas or loss of revenue for MT.
Even though HRM is huge as far as size goes the actual core is still mainly a very large town or small city without large city services. Often due to low population in the area. Bring on more density, though that does not always work either.
OP, you should not go down town on a friday night without taxi fair.
