Winnipeg Transit (CITY OF WINNIPEG / FILE)
Winnipeg Transit’s fall schedule took effect Sunday, bringing route changes, stop additions and schedule improvements.
The city says many changes this year are aimed at improving reliability and responding to rider feedback.
Non-seasonal route changes include:
- Routes 678: Waverley West-Chancellor and 679: Waverley will have new terminals on University Crescent. They will also travel through Waverley West to help reduce demand on the Blue Line.
- Route FX4: Gateway-Portage will have a new terminal at the Polo Park Main Terminal for easier transfers.
- Route 48: Transcona Blvd-McMeans will be extended between Kildonan Place Mall and Walmart, providing improved service in the area.
- Route 649: Chevrier will be extended to improve service for residents of Whyte Ridge.
- To simplify service, Route D:18 Notre Dame will operate on Arlington Street in both directions.
- The southern boundary of On-request Zone 106: North East will be extended from Edison Avenue to Kimberly. This will improve service in the evenings and on weekends.
- Route 650: McGillivray will be shortened to better align service with current ridership demand.
Additional bus stops have also been added along the FX2 route on Main Street to make transfers easier and ensure access to controlled pedestrian crossings, while the Blue route will gain additional stops on west Portage Avenue.
Riders are encouraged to use Navigo or another transit trip planner for up-to-date schedule and routing information.
