Downtown Sydney Transit stops moved temporarily during Pride Parade on Saturday 

Due to street closures for the Pride Parade this Saturday, August 4th, Transit Cape Breton’s downtown hub will be temporarily relocated to Prince and Dodd Street, instead of Dorchester Street.

Any regularly scheduled runs will end after 11:30am and be moved to the Prince and Dodd hub.  

Those who are looking for transit service in the downtown core will be required to travel to Prince Street and Dodd Street, as Transit Cape Breton will be unable to travel downtown.
