Until Halifax Transit took over in January 1970……Nova Scotia Light and Power provided the transit service on the peninsula using a combination Electric Trolley Coaches and GM Diesels.

Trolley Coaches ran across the MacDonald Bridge to connect with the DTS buses at the Bridge Terminal and Acadian Lines provided frequent suburban service to Bedford, Herring Cove, Leblin Park, Purcell’s Cove and Fairview from a terminal downtown.
This 1960’s Postcard of the Lord Nelson posted by OldDartmouthMark nicely shows the overhead wires that powered the Electric Trolley Coaches. Wires were strung above the street on routes though out the city.
