Mechanical issues with a Metro Transit ferry has forced a change to its ferry service schedule.

Metro Transit says its Alderney ferry has returned to regular 15-minute intervals. The Woodside ferry, however, will now be operating every 30 minutes until further notice.

The Woodside ferry will leave Dartmouth at seven minutes and 37 minutes past the hour, and trips from Halifax will depart at 22 minutes and 52 minutes past the hour.
