Absolutely! Our real-time shuttle tracking is now seamlessly integrated with our Facebook business page. Simply visit Straightline Shuttle’s Facebook page, and you’ll find the tracking link readily available for instant access to the shuttle’s live location. It’s a convenient and efficient way for friends and family who will be waiting at the drop-off points for pickups to stay informed about your journey with us.
We believe this approach strikes a balance between efficiency and passenger convenience.
As a solo-operated service, we’ve chosen a point-to-point travel model from Yarmouth to Halifax with direct stops along the way (See Itinerary). This decision is aimed at ensuring a reliable and efficient schedule without compromising on the quality of service. Door-to-door service can lead to significantly longer days, and we want to ensure the sustainability of our operations while providing you with a comfortable and timely journey.
While our service operates between fixed points, we understand the importance of convenient pickups. If you anticipate needing a pickup, we recommend coordinating with your friends or family in advance. Additionally, we offer live tracking for our shuttle, providing real-time information on our whereabouts. This feature can be particularly useful for those picking you up, as they can track the shuttle’s arrival and plan accordingly.
