Need to pay for parking at the Halifax airport? One option will end soon
MACPASS Plus will not longer be an option to pay for parking at Halifax Stanfield International Airport starting next week. The move is in preparation for the upcoming removal of tolls from the bridges spanning Halifax harbour. "This was just a decision that made sense," said Leah Batstone, a spokesperson for the airport authority. Drivers will need to take a ticket when entering the parking facilities and use other payment options in the terminal building and in the parkade. The change begins Monday. Drivers who parked using MACPASS Plus prior to March 3 will still be able to exit with MACPASS Plus and will be charged as usual. Batstone added that travellers should familiarize themselves with the other payment methods before coming to the airport. The province announced earlier this month that the tolls would be removed from the harbour bridges starting April 1. Halifax Harbour Bridges spokesperson Steve Proctor said toll booths will still be there in April, but dedicated MacPass and cash-only lanes will be redesigned to let traffic flow freely.
