The Winnipeg Transit Master Plan is putting in motion this summer in a massive way. Community members who take the bus take notice – Winnipeg Transit is replacing its entire network of bus routes and stops. The goal is transit service that is more frequent, direct, connected, and easy to use.
On Saturday, June 28, buses will travel on routes such as the 18, 38, and 77 for the last time. The next day, all new bus routes – with new stops, streets, and destinations – will begin to operate. This will be the biggest service change in Winnipeg Transit history. Only a handful of routes will be similar to before.
“Winnipeggers want bus service they can rely on, that can take them from anywhere in Winnipeg to anywhere in Winnipeg,” explained Kevin Sturgeon, senior transit planner with Winnipeg Transit. “The new bus network is designed with these goals in mind.”
