## Transit Stop Distribution Along Major Arteries

Fourteen transit stops are attributed to Halifax North Common, primarily located on Robie St and Quinpool Rd. Specific stops include 8184 - Robie St After Quinpool Rd and 8261 - Quinpool Rd Before Windsor St. These points mark physical bus stop locations rather than route frequencies or service schedules for the corridor.

Additional stops appear on Cunard St, such as 6546 - Cunard St After Robie St and 6545 - Cunard St Opposite Hunter St. The concentration of stops suggests multiple intersecting routes pass through the neighbourhood.
